It is an important part of our lifeโs experience to develop the strength, courage, and integrity to hold fast to truth and righteousness despite the buffeting we may experience.
Dieter F. UchtdorfFaith is such a principle of power. God works by power, but this power is usually exercised in response to our faith.
Dieter F. UchtdorfDisciples of Jesus Christ understand that compared to eternity, our existence in this mortal sphere is only โa small momentโ in space and time. They know that a personโs true value has little to do with what the world holds in high esteem. They know you could pile up the accumulated currency of the entire world and it could not buy a loaf of bread in the economy of heaven.
Dieter F. UchtdorfDeveloping Christlike attributes in our lives is not an easy task, especially when we move away from generalities and abstractions and begin to deal with real life. The test comes in practicing what we proclaim. The reality check comes when Christlike attributes need to become visible in our livesโas husband or wife, as father or mother, as son or daughter, in our friendships, in our employment, in our business, and in our recreation. We can recognize our growth, as can those around us, as we gradually increase our capacity to 'act in all holiness before [Him]' (D&C 43:9).
