Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can - working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!
Dieter F. UchtdorfSometimes we become so focused on the finish line, that we fail to find joy in the journey.
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. UchtdorfGod knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history. They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Saviorโs example and spend the days of their lives doing good.
Dieter F. UchtdorfHope 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.
