We can sometimes waste years of our lives waiting to be chosen. But that is a false premise. You are already chosen!

There is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.

Since the beginning of time, love has been the source of both the highest bliss and the heaviest burdens. At the heart of misery from the days of Adam until today, you will find the love of wrong things. And at the heart of joy, you will find the love of good things."And the greatest of all good things is God.

It is my prayer that patience will be a defining characteristic of we who hold the priesthood of Almighty God; that we will courageously trust the Lord's promises and His timing; that we will act toward others with the patience and compassion we seek for ourselves; and that we will continue in patience until we are perfected.

Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be—not only 20 years from now but also for all eternity.

Love should be our walk and our talk.

Patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.
