Without spiritual landmarks, mankind wanders . . . Without the word of God, we walk in circles.

Even when we think we cannot rise up, there is still hope. And sometimes we just need someone to look us in the eyes, take our hand, and say, "You can do it now!"

Hope is a gift of the Spirit. It is a hope that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the power of His Resurrection, we shall be raised unto life eternal and this because of our faith in the Savior.

The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible-and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.

We are important to Him not because of our resume, but because we are His children.

Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God.

Hope is a leg of a 3-legged stool with Faith and Charity.
