Commandments are opportunities to exercise our agency and to receive blessings.

The pure love of Christ can remove the scales of resentment and wrath from our eyes, allowing us to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees us: as flawed and imperfect mortals who have potential and worth far beyond our capacity to imagine. Because God loves us so much, we too must love and forgive each other.

As we patiently follow the Savior, He will bless us beyond our own capacity to become what He wants us to be.

All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan.

Even the smallest act of discipleship or the tiniest ember of belief can become a blazing bonfire of a consecrated life.

It is often in the trial of adversity that we learn those most critical lessons that form our character and shape our destiny.

It is an important part of our life’s experience to develop the strength, courage, and integrity to hold fast to truth and righteousness despite the buffeting we may experience.
