If you reflect often on how His Atonement has changed you, and if you give thanks often, you will find that your witness of Him gains power to touch the hearts of others. When those you invite out of your own testimony feel that witness, they will come to accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

From what might appear to you to be small choices, the Lord will lead you to the happiness you want. Through your choices He will be able to bless countless others.

Our human tendency is to be impatient with the person who cannot see the truth that is so plain to us. We must be careful that our impatience is not interpreted as condemnation or rejection.

God offers us counsel not just for our own safety but for the safety of His other children, whom we should love.

With one eye on today's blessings you will have more staying power for the distant goal.

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