Infinite worth of each soul

No woman was ever quite like you.  The Lord made only one, without carbons.  You are not repeated and not repeatable.  No one else can do what the Lord sent you to do.  The value of what you have to contribute will come through the expression of your own personality, that particular spark of the divine that make you unique, setting you off from every other living creature.  The mark you leave on the world, on the hearts and minds of others is as distinct as your thumb print.

Barbara B. Smith

"Like the caterpillars who will one day become butterflies, you have the magnificent potential to develop the powers within you and become greater than most of you dare to dream...You  have the power and the capacity to perform so well that you can inherit all that our Father has if you begin the process and continue until you become what you are really meant to be...You can choose to use the powers within you to have a happy life of
continual growth and development that leads to eternal progression."

Barbara B. Smith

" Each of us comes into this world separately, one by one.

This is not an accident. I think it's the Lord's way of reminding us

of the infinite worth of each soul."

Dwan. J. Young

 

"It is my fervent and humble testimony that the heavens are very much open to women today.  They are not closed unless we ourselves, by our choices, close them.  And this reality can be just as evident as in any time in the past.  As I read of the great spirituality of women of the past and realize how the Lord communicated with them, I thrill with the spiritual manifestations that have accompanied their missions in life, literally a power evidencing the will of God made known through their instrumentality.  I think of Eliza R. Snow, of whom Joseph F. Smith said, 'She walked not in the borrowed light of others, but faced the morning unafraid and invincible.' The spirit whispers to me that there are Eliza R. Snows among us even  today, and there can be many, many more.  We can pull down the blessings of heaven through obedience to law.  These divine and sacred blessings are not reserved for others alone.  Visions and revelations come by the power of the Holy Ghost.  The Lord has said, 'On my servants and on my hand maidens

I will pour out in those days of my spirit; and they shall prophesy.'"

One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. 

One of our common failings is to depreciate our tremendous worth.

L. Tom Perry

Blessing come in many ways and the nicest come as friends.

"Remember that this work is not yours and mine alone. It is the Lord's work,

and when we are on the Lord's errand, we are entitled to the Lord's help.

Remember that the Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it."

Thomas S. Monson

"Tests of our faith are priceless opportunities to discover how deeply the

Master cares about the welfare of our souls to help us endure to the end."

Robert D. Hales

"The inspiring influence of the Holy Spirit can be overcome or masked by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, passion, fear, or pride. When such influences are present, it is like trying to savor the delicate flavor of a grape while eating a jalapeño pepper. Both flavors are present, but one completely overpowers the other. In like manner, strong emotions overcome the delicate promptings of the Holy Spirit." Richard G. Scott

“As daughters of our Heavenly Father, and as daughters of Eve,

we are all mothers and we have always been mothers. . . .

Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that.

It is the essence of who we are as women.

It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature,

and the unique traits our Father gave us.”

Sheri Dew

“Help others in their race of life. Remember that when you help another up a mountain,

you are a little nearer the top yourself.”

Thomas S. Monson

" Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
