These early Saints were indeed homeless, but they were not hopeless. Their hearts were broken, but their spirits were strong. They had learned a profound and important lesson. They had learned that hope, with its attendant blessings of peace and joy, does not depend upon circumstance. They had discovered that the true source of hope is faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His infinite Atonement, the one sure foundation upon which to build our lives.

If our lives are out of tune with the music of the gospel, we must tune them up.

When we strive to keep the commandments of God, repenting of our sins and promising our best efforts to follow the Savior, we begin to grow in confidence that through the Atonement everything will be all right.

Dissonance cannot be corrected by criticism.

If you’re not hearing the music of the gospel in your home, please remember these two words: keep practicing.

I can teach you to dance, but you have to hear the music.
