Heaven is filled with those who have this in common: they are forgiven and they forgive.
Dieter F. UchtdorfOften the deep valleys of our PRESENT will be UNDERSTOOD only by LOOKING BACK on them from the mountains of our FUTURE experience. Often we canโt see the LORDโS HAND in our lives until long after the trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are ESSENTIAL building blocks that form the FOUNDATION of our CHARACTER and pave the way to FUTURE opportunity, understanding, and happiness.
Dieter F. UchtdorfPersonal testimony of the gospel and the Church is the most important thing you can earn in this life. It will not only bless and guide you during this life, but it will also have a direct bearing on your life throughout eternity.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWould do well to slow down a little... focus on the significant... and truly see the things that matter most.
Dieter F. UchtdorfHave faith. The Lord can magnify the words you speak and make them mighty. God doesnโt ask you to convert but rather to open your mouths.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThere are those among you who, although young, have already suffered a full measure of grief and sorrow. My heart is filled with compassion and love for you. How dear you are to the Church. How beloved you are of your Heavenly Father. Though it may seem that you are alone, angels attend you. Though you may feel that no one can understand the depth of your despair, our Savior, Jesus Christ, understands. He suffered more than we can possibly imagine, and He did it for us; He did it for you. You are not alone.
