God's promises are not always fulfilled as quickly as or in the way we might hope; they come according to His timing and in His ways.
Dieter F. UchtdorfNow is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to beโnot only 20 years from now but also for all eternity.
Dieter F. UchtdorfIt isnโt until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are that you can begin to take control of yourself. As you learn to control yourself, you will get control of your life. If you want to move the world, you first have to move yourself.
Dieter F. UchtdorfGod the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny, or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval, or admiration."No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God!"For what we love determines what we seek."What we seek determines what we think and do."What we think and do determines who we areโand who we will become.
