The Lord looks upon the light we have received

 


“Like a glowing searchlight of goodness is the life of Jesus as he ministered among men. ”
 Thomas S. Monson
 

 

“Let us make certain there is oil in our own lamps. Let us live our lives so we can have the gift of the Holy Ghost operating evermore constantly in our lives.”
Spencer W. Kimball
 
“We live in a most exciting and challenging period in human history. As technology sweeps through every facet of our lives, changes are occurring so rapidly that it can be difficult for us to keep our lives in balance. To maintain some semblance of stability in our lives, it is essential that we plan for our future. I believe it is time, and perhaps with some urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal and family preparedness. We want to be found with oil in our lamps sufficient to endure to the end.”
 L. Tom Perry
 
 
The Lord looks upon the light we have received, the desires of our hearts, and our actions, and when we repent and seek His forgiveness, He forgives. As we consider our own lives and the lives of our loved ones and acquaintances, we should be equally willing to forgive ourselves and others.”
Craig A. Cardon
 
 
“All are born with the Light of Christ, a guiding influence which permits each person to recognize right from wrong. What we do with that light and how we respond to those promptings to live righteously is part of the test of mortality.”
Boyd K. Packer
 
“Be a light, not a judge.”
Marvin J. Ashton
 
“…The light at the end of life’s darkest tunnels is the Light and the Life of the world.”
Bruce C. Hafen
 

 

“Light dispels darkness. When light is present, darkness is vanquished and must depart. More importantly, darkness cannot conquer light unless the light is diminished or departs.
When the spiritual light of the Holy Ghost is present, the darkness of Satan departs.”
Robert D. Hales
 
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. We parents can be both.”
Spencer W. Kimball
 
“You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul.”
Harold B. Lee
 
“Ceaseless striving to find the bright light of living faith purifies the heart,
strengthens the will, and develops sterling character.”
O. Leslie Stone
 
“The whole armor of God will keep the divine light of Jesus Christ inside and the darkness of evil outside.”
Bernard P. Brockbank
 
 
“Hope is light. It is a light within us that pierces the darkness of doubt and discouragement and taps into the light of all creation – even the Savior…Christ is the true hope that is in all men.
John H. Groberg
 
“As we earnestly seek light and truth, we develop clarity in our lives that reflects spiritual understanding and commitment. This clarity results as we learn from our daily experiences, our thoughtful study, and as we receive personal inspiration from the Holy Spirit. We have been promised: ‘Whatever principle of intelligence we attain . in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge . in this life through his diligence . , he will have so much the advantage in the world to come’”
Elaine L. Jack
 

 

… another light is known and available to each of us. If we cultivate it, it can become an even greater influence in our lives. The principle is: That which comes from God is light and the person who receives and invites this light into his or her life will receive more light. It is simple. It is profound.”
Gordon B. Hinckley
