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

Spiritual light rarely comes to those who merely sit in the darkness waiting for someone to flick the switch.

Christlike attributes come into our lives as we exercise our agenncy righteously.

Love is the measure of our faith, the inspiration for our obedience, and the true altitude of our discipleship.

Hope is critical to both faith and charity. When disobedience, disappointment, and procrastination erode faith, hope is there to uphold our faith. When frustration and impatience challenge charity, hope braces our resolve and urges us to care for our fellowmen even without expectation of reward. The brighter our hope, the greater our faith. The stronger our hope, the purer our charity.

Let us resolve to be happy regardless of our circumstance.

As we patiently follow the Savior, He will bless us beyond our own capacity to become what He wants us to be.
