While many governments and well-meaning individuals have redefined marriage, the Lord has not.

In his own time and in his own way, the Lord will bring about his miracles.

My young friends, ... not all the whirlwinds in life are of your own making. Some come because of the wrong choices of others, and some come just because this is mortality. You are His son or His daughter. He made your spirit strong and capable of being resilient to the whirlwinds of life. The whirlwinds in your youth, like the wind against a young tree, can increase your spiritual strength, preparing you for the years ahead.

I witness that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He suffered and died for our sins and rose the third day. He is resurrected. In a future day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is the Christ. On that day, our concern will not be, 'Do others consider me Christian?' At that time, our eyes will be fixed on Him, and our souls will be riveted on the question, 'What thinks Christ of me?'

Counting the ways the Book of Mormon brings peace to the soul is like counting the sand on the seashore.

We see God's miracles in His wondrous work and in our own personal lives.

But our trials need not be spiritually fatal. They need not take us from our covenants or from the household of God.
