By God's Grace



God did not promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day, Comfort for the tears and light for the way.

"This Jesus, who is called Christ, wrought out a perfect atonement for all mankind by His incomparable life, His suffering in Gethsemane, the shedding of His blood, His death upon the cross, and His glorious Resurrection.

He conquered the grave, and because of Him, so will we."

Bishop Keith B. McMullin

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. -- Titus 1:2

By God’s Grace, heirs of the hope of eternal life. -- Titus 3:7

"God offers to His children the promise of a glorious and infinite existence and has provided a way for us to progress in knowledge and glory until we receive a fulness of joy. He has promised us all that He has."If all that is not enough reason to love our Heavenly Father, perhaps we can learn from the words of the Apostle John, who said,
'We love him, because he first loved us' (1 John 4:19)."
~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf,
"God loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked."What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate
Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."
~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
