We so easily forget that we came into life with nothing. Whatever we get soon seems our natural right, not a gift. And we forget the giver. Then our gaze shifts from what we have been given to what we dont have yet. . . .

The sad pattern of lack of trust in God has persisted since the Creation.

Every person is different and has a different contribution to make. No one is destined to fail.

It is by avoiding future sin that we retain a remission of the sins of the past.

No one who strives with full faith and heart for the blessings of eternal life will be denied. And how great will be the joy and how much deeper the appreciation then after enduring in patience and faith now.

We help God's children best by providing ways to build faith in Jesus Christ and in His restored gospel when they are young.

We have moral agency as a gift of God. Rather than the right to choose to be free of influence, it is the inalienable right to submit ourselves to whichever of those powers we choose.
