No one likes to fail. But we mortals do not become champions without effort and discipline or without making mistakes.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThink of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount-that is the measure of Godโs love for you.
Dieter F. UchtdorfPatience-the ability to put our desires on hold for a time-is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.
Dieter F. UchtdorfA testimony is a most precious possession because it is not acquired by logic or reason alone, it cannot be purchased with earthly possessions, and it cannot be given as a present or inherited from our ancestors. We cannot depend on the testimonies of other people. We need to know for ourselves. President Gordon B. Hinckley said, โEvery Latter-day Saint has the responsibility to know for himself or herself with a certainty beyond doubt that Jesus is the resurrected, living Son of the living God.
