How seriously have you personally taken the Lord's charge to share His gospel? It is a lifelong responsibility ... to be addressed differently according to the various seasons of your life.

If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see.

Remember, loving them is the powerful foundation for influencing those you want to help. ... As a companion to that love, trust them. In some cases it may seem difficult to trust, but find some way to trust them. The children of Father in Heaven can do amazing things when they feel trusted. Every child of God in mortality chose the Savior’s plan. Trust that given the opportunity, they will do so again.

Our Heavenly Father did not put us on earth to fail but to succeed gloriously.

I have been taught that we can make many choices in life, but we cannot choose our final destiny. Our actions do that.

I witness that as you gain experience and success in being guided by the Spirit, your confidence in the impressions you feel can become more certain than your dependence on what you see or hear.

A sense of humor is an escape valve for the pressures of life.
