By His words and His example, Christ has shown us how to draw closer to Him.

If we choose to exercise faith, the Holy Ghost will bring God's kindnesses to our remembrance.

By helping others come unto Him, you will find that you have come unto Him yourself

God's purpose in creation was to let us prove ourselves. The plan was explained to us in the spirit world before we were born. We were valiant enough there to qualify for the opportunity to choose against temptation here to prepare for eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God.

When tragedy strikes, or even when it looms, our families will have the opportunity to look into our hearts to see whether we know what we said we knew. Our children will watch, feel the Spirit confirm that we lived as we preached, remember that confirmation, and pass the story across the generations.

It is hard to repent, to admit you are wrong on faith alone before the evidence of a feeling of being forgiven and light comes.

Your calling is to bless lives. . . . Just the way you smile or the way you offer to help someone can build their faith.
