Hope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity. These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time... Hope in our Heavenly Father's merciful plan of happiness leads to peace, mercy, rejoicing, and gladness. The hope of salvation is like a protective helmet; it is the foundation of our faith and an anchor to our souls.
Dieter F. UchtdorfOften the answer to our prayer does not come while we're on our knees, but while we're on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWhat we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThe things we hope for lead us to faith, while the things we hope in lead us to charity.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWe have a choice. We can seek for the bad in others. Or we can make peace and work to extend to others the understanding, fairness, and forgiveness we so desperately desire for ourselves. It is our choice; for whatever we seek, that we will certainly find.
Dieter F. UchtdorfYes, we will make mistakes. Yes, we will falter. But as we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us. The darkness will surely fade, because it cannot exist in the presence of light. As we draw near to God, He will draw near to us.
