While understanding the 'what' and the 'how' of the gospel is necessary, the eternal fire and majesty of the gospel springs from the 'why.' When we understand why our Heavenly Father has given us this pattern for living, when we remember why we committed to making it a foundational part of our lives, the gospel ceases to become a burden and, instead, becomes a joy and a delight. It becomes precious and sweet.
Dieter F. UchtdorfHow much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God there is rain?
Dieter F. UchtdorfEndings are not our destiny...They are merely interruptions-temporary pauses that one day will seem small compared to the eternal joy awaiting the faithful.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThis is our high and holy calling-to be agents of Jesus Christ, to love as He loved, to serve as He served.
Dieter F. UchtdorfAs you accept the responsibility to seek after truth with an open mind and a humble heart, you will become more tolerant of others, more open to listen, more prepared to understand, more inclined to build up instead of tearing down, and you will be more willing to go where God wants you to go.
