Testimony of Jesus Christ

In October conference in 2006, Pres Uchtdorf said,

"The testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel will help us in our lives to learn of God’s specific plan for us and then to act accordingly.

He goes on saying...

It gives us assurance of the reality, truth, and goodness of God, of the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ, and of the divine calling of latter-day prophets. Our testimony motivates us to live righteously, and righteous living will cause our testimony to grow stronger."

He’ll answer our prayers

In the October 2011 general conference, President Thomas S. Monson warned of the difficult world we live in and then said:

 “As a means of being in the world but not being of the world, it is necessary that we communicate with our Heavenly Father through prayer. He wants us to do so; He’ll answer our prayers.”

You can achieve what you believe you can

This is a quote from President Thomas S. Monson in "Living the Abundant Life," the First Presidency Message for this month. The whole message is beautiful, but I loved this one line! It's so in the spirit of New Year's Resolutions, which is why I liked it.

 "You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith."

Because He Came

This is an excerpt from President Monson's talk from the recent Christmas devotional entitled Because He Came.

Because He came, there is meaning to our mortal existence.
Because He came, we know how to reach out to those in trouble or distress, wherever they may be.
Because He came, death has lost its sting, the grave its victory. We will live again because He came.

We must try to believe

This is yesterday's quote. It was so good i couldn't not share it. My mother gave a wonderful lesson in sunday school and shared a talk from President Uchtdorf from conference in October of 2009. It was FULL of beautiful quotes, that i'll be sharing more of! ha. This is yesteday's. :)

My dear brothers and sisters, don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. Don’t feel downcast or despair if you don’t feel worthy to be a disciple of Christ at all times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.



He cometh into the world

2 Nephi 9:21 says

And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.

Beautiful scripture! It's almost Christmas! Yay!! Love you!

God is not dead, nor doth He sleep

On sunday, my mother sang in a beautiful Christmas fireside with the whole stake. They did so well! Every ward choir from the stake came together to sing several songs, and one of them was "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." The fourth verse is this:

"Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

 

I was so impressed with this beautiful message. God is NOT dead, nor doth he sleep, the wrong shall FAIL, the right PREVAIL!

I love you!
