We can with confidence set a goal to make this Christmas brighter than the last and each year that follows brighter still.

If you meet a girl in whose presence you feel a desire … to do your best, … such a young woman is worthy of your love

Heavenly Father hears your prayers, He loves you. He knows your name. He loves you beyond your ability to comprehend.

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

Each of you is a unique child of God. God knows you individually. He sends messages of encouragement, correction, and direction fitted to you and to your needs.

It is never too late to strengthen the foundation of faith. There is always time. With faith in the Savior, you can repent and plead for forgiveness. There is someone you can forgive. There is someone you can thank. There is someone you can serve and lift. You can do it wherever you are and however alone and deserted you may feel.

Heavenly Father and the Savior are grateful that you do your part. They know you, They watch over you, and They love you.
