In such times as we are in, whether the threats be global or local or in individual lives, I too pray for the children. Some days it seems that a sea of temptation and transgression inundates them, simply washes over them before they can successfully withstand it, before they should have to face it. And often at least some of the forces at work seem beyond our personal control. Well, some of them may be beyond our control, but I testify with faith in the living God that they are not beyond His.

Jeffrey R. HollandSadly enough, my young friends, it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don't rock the boat but don't even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds.
Jeffrey R. HollandI testify that no one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that He loves each of usโinsecurities, anxieties, self-image, and all. He doesnโt measure our talents or our looks; He doesnโt measure our professions or our possessions. He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other.
