The tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and...the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us.

Spiritual illumination and perspective are poured out through the windows of heaven and into our lives as we honor the law of tithing.

The enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity.

Conversion is an offering of self, of love, and of loyalty we give to God in gratitude for the gift of testimony.

There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first. In a moment of weakness we may cry out, “No one knows what it is like. No one understands.” But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He has felt and borne our individual burdens.

Many of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.

As we fear God more completely, we love Him more perfectly. And 'perfect love casteth out all fear'.
