A gift of power

 

“The Lord’s delays often seem long; some last a lifetime. But they are always calculated to bless. They need never be times of loneliness or sorrow or impatience.”

Henry B. Eyring

 

“We are separated from God in order that we may voluntarily return to Him.”
Arthur Henry King Ensign, April 1975
 

“He, the Savior, receives each act of mercy to one of the least as one done to Himself. And in return He defies hopelessness, weariness, despair, and meaninglessness on our behalf.”

Chieko N. Okazaki

 

“…We all have received the divine injunction: ‘Follow thou me.’ It guided Peter. It motivated Paul. It can determine our personal destiny. Can we make the decision to follow in righteousness and truth the Redeemer of the world? With his help, a rebellious boy can become an obedient man, a wayward girl can cast aside the old self and begin anew. Indeed, the gospel of Jesus Christ can change lives.”

Thomas S. Monson

 

“A testimony is a priceless gift from God. But even though a person may receive a witness through the Holy Ghost, there is no guarantee that this testimony will remain steadfast unless the person exerts constant effort to keep that testimony alive.”

Elder Henry D. Taylor

 

“As we build our character, our light will shine brighter, and our outward reputation will become but a reflection of our inward self; then will our reputation be one, both before God and before our fellowmen.” O. Leslie Stone

Because it’s hard to be brave…to follow exactly what you should do

IF

you haven’t received the gift.

IF you haven’t embraced it.

Receive the gift.

Then let your brave shine through.

If ye receive the Holy Ghost it will show you all things what ye should do. 2 Nephi 32:5

Embrace the Gift

Emily Freeman

The Gift of the Holy Ghost A Sure Compass

"When we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God." Robert D. Hales

“The gift of the Holy Ghost is a gift of power. The Holy Ghost inspires and heals, guides and warns, enhances our natural capacities, inspires charity and humility, makes us smarter than we are, strengthens us during trials, testifies of the Father and the Son, and shows us "all things" that we should do. He helps us do more and become more than we could ever do or become on our own.”Sheri L. Dew

“The gift of the Holy Ghost … quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings, and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness, and charity. Parley P. Pratt
