God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastlingly.

We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.

Love should be our walk and our talk.

Our loving Heavenly Father wants us to become more like him. God understands that we get there not in an instant, but by taking one step at a time.

As we turn to our Heavenly Father and seek His wisdom regarding the things that matter most, we learn over and over again the importance of four key relationships: with our God, with our families, with our fellowman, and with ourselves.

It is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions.

We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't just a long list of good ideas. They aren't 'life hacks' from an Internet blog, or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board. They are divine counsel, based on eternal truths.
