I encourage our Saints all over the world, wherever possible, to strive to stand more often in holy places.

As children of the Lord we should strive every day to rise to a higher level of personal righteousness in all of our actions.

I encourage our Saints all over the world, wherever possible, to strive to stand more often in holy places.

Each of us is a unique creation of our Heavenly Father. No two of us are completely alike. No one else has exactly the same gifts and talents that we have been given. We should increase those talents and gifts and use them to leverage our uniqueness.

Our agency, given us through the plan of our Father, is the great alternative to Satan's plan of force. With this sublime gift, we can grow, improve, progress, and seek perfection. Without agency, none of us could grow and develop by learning from our mistakes and errors and those of others.... I do not really think the devil can make us do anything. Certainly he can tempt and he can deceive, but he has no authority over us that we do not give him.

You want to make your own decisions, but you ought to make those decisions with an eternal perspective.

May we all be faithful in doing the day-to-day, ordinary things that prove our worthiness, for they will lead us to and qualify us for great things.
