Love is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the pathway of discipleship. It comforts, counsels, cures, and consoles. It leads us through valleys of darkness and through the veil of death. In the end love leads us to the glory and grandeur of eternal life.

We are ever on the threshold of new journeys and new discoveries. Can you imagine the excitement of the Wright brothers on the morning of that first flight? The anticipation of Jonas Salk as he analyzed the data that demonstrated a way to prevent polio?

Please do not lose hope in the Savior and His love for you. It is constant. He promised that He would not leave us comfortless.

There is a form of communication that transcends the power of words.

Because Jesus Christ suffered greatly, He understands our suffering. He understands our grief. We experience hard things so that we too may have increased compassion and understanding for others.

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.

We should strive to develop within ourselves the traits of character of the Savior.
