God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastlingly.

God sent you here to prepare for a future greater than anything can imagine.

We need to ask God for forgiveness and do all we can to correct whatever harm our actions may have caused. Repentance means a change of mind and heart—we stop doing things that are wrong, and we start doing things that are right. It brings us a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and life in general.

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

God's light is real, it is available to all. It has the power to soften the sting of the deepest wound.

Though we cannot understand "the meaning of all things," we do "know that God loveth his children" because He has said, "Behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." Heavenly Father is able to accomplish these two great goals-the immortality and eternal life of man-because He is a God of creation and compassion. Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father's perfect happiness. Creating and being compassionate are two activities that we as His spirit children can and should emulate.

There is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.
