Jesus Christ lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us. In moments of pain, loneliness, or confusion, we do not need to see Jesus Christ to know that He is aware of our circumstances and that His mission is to bless.

The good works that really matter require the help of heaven. And the help of heaven requires working past the point of fatigue so far that only the meek and lowly will keep going long enough. The Lord doesn't put us through this test just to give us a grade; he does it because the process will change us.

Only God knows hearts, and so only He can say, in truth, “I know how you feel.”

You make choices every day and almost every hour that keep you walking in the light or moving away toward darkness.

The Lord protects, guides, and watches over those who are His trusted friends in His work. His work and that of His Father and our Father is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of the children of God. And Satan, the enemy of our happiness, opposes those who serve the Lord.

Don't worry about how inexperienced you are or think you are, but think about what, with the Lord's help, you can become.

The fruit of keeping covenants is the companionship of the Holy Ghost and an increase in the power to love.
