We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time!

It is my prayer that patience will be a defining characteristic of we who hold the priesthood of Almighty God; that we will courageously trust the Lord's promises and His timing; that we will act toward others with the patience and compassion we seek for ourselves; and that we will continue in patience until we are perfected.

What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.

Let us simplify our lives a little, let us make the changes necessary to focus on the simple, humble path of Christian discipleship.

We sometimes confuse sin with sinner, and we condemn too quickly and with too little compassion. We know from modern revelation that ‘the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.’ We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe.

Don't think less of yourself, just think less about yourself.

Christ is the source of all true priesthood authority and power on earth. It is His work, in which we are privileged to assist.
