God loves his children more than any earthly parent, so think what your kindness to his children means to him.

However much faith to obey God we now have, we will need to strengthen it continually and keep it refreshed constantly. We can do that by deciding now to be more quick to obey and more determined to endure. Learning to start early and to be steady are the keys to spiritual preparation. Procrastination and inconsistency are its mortal enemies.

Those who are faithful to God are protected and prospered. That comes as the result of serving God and keeping His commandments. But with those blessings comes the temptation to forget their source. It is easy to begin to feel the blessings were granted not by a loving God on whom we depend but by our own powers.

For each of us, life is a journey. Heavenly Father designed it for us out of love. Each of us has unique experiences and characteristics, but our journey began in the same place before we were born into this world.

Ask yourself, 'How did God bless me today?' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings.

If the foundation of faith is not embedded in our hearts, the power to endure will crumble.

You hold in your hands the happiness of more people than you can imagine.
