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

Those who are faithful to God are protected and prospered. That comes as the result of serving God and keeping His commandments. But with those blessings comes the temptation to forget their source. It is easy to begin to feel the blessings were granted not by a loving God on whom we depend but by our own powers.

Now, I wish to encourage those who are in the midst of hard trials, who feel their faith may be fading under the onslaught of troubles. There seems to me no better answer to the question of why trials come and what we are to do than the words of the Lord Himself, who passed through trials for us more terrible than we can imagine.

One of the surest ways to avoid even getting near false doctrine is to choose to be simple in our teaching.

We . . . have to open our mouths and bear testimony.

Conversion brings a drive to learn.

Logical thinking will not be enough to get answers to the questions that matter most in life. We need revelation from God.
