" I am saying to you that to me the Constitution of the United States
is just as much from my Heavenly Father as the Ten Commandments "
"This life is not given to us as a pastime.
There was a solemn purpose in our creation, in the life that God has given to us.
Let us study what that purpose is, that we may progress and obtain eternal life."
"We do not believe that the heavens are sealed over our heads, but that the same Father who loved and cherished the children of Israel loves and cherishes us. We believe that we are as much in need of the assistance of our Heavenly Father in the directing of our lives as they were. We know that in the day and age in which we live the seal has been broken, and God has again spoken from the heavens."
“I would rather trust in the living God than in any other power on earth.”
Stand Fast Through the Storms of Life
You will have all kinds of trials to pass through. And it is quite as necessary for you to be tried as it was for Abraham and other men of God... God will feel after you, and He will take hold of you and wrench your very heart strings and if you cannot stand it you will not be fit for an inheritance in the Celestial kingdom of God
"You cannot drive people to do things which are right,
but you can love them into doing them, if your example
is of such a character that they can see you mean what you say."
"Peace is the gift of God.….very peace of God will dwell and abide with you, for that is where peace comes from, and it doesn't dwell anywhere else. . . .Some in speaking of war and troubles, will say are you not afraid? No, I am a servant of God, and this is enough, for Father is at the helm. It is for me to be as clay in the hands of the potter, to be pliable and walk in the light of the countenance of the Spirit of the Lord, and then no matter what comes. Let the lightnings flash and the earthquakes bellow, God is at the helm, and I feel like saying but little, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth and will continue his work until he has put all enemies under his feet, and his kingdom extends from the rivers to the ends of the earth."
"Honor the names that you bear, because someday you will have the privilege and the obligation of reporting to your ancestors and your Father in Heaven what you have done with their name."
"Show and prove to the world, to angels and to God, that you are on the side of truth and right, of honesty, purity and integrity, and that you are for God in His kingdom."
"We may have given to us, in this life, a few things that will give us satisfaction, temporally; but the things that are eternal, the things that are "worthwhile", are those eternal things that we reach out for, and prepare ourselves to receive, and lay hold of by the effort that we individually make."
“Everyone meets affliction in mortality,” “Everyone knows some sorrow. Everyone experiences disappointments, even despair, and looks for ways to bear up and keep on going.
The answer for all times and all seasons is to 'trust Jesus.'”
When our souls are spiritually depleted, we can trust that the Lord will provide us with the bread of life and the living waters. When we struggle to fulfill our callings, we can trust that He will sustain and support our efforts. When our lives are hectic and overwhelming, we can trust that the Lord will bless us with peace.

Those who will receive the Lord Jesus Christ as the source of their salvation will always lie down in green pastures, no matter how barren and bleak the winter has been. And the waters of their refreshment will always be still waters, no matter how turbulent the storms of life. In walking His path of righteousness, our souls will be forever restored; and though that path may for us, as it did for Him, lead through the very valley of the shadow of death, yet we will fear no evil. The rod of His priesthood and the staff of His Spirit will always comfort us. And when we hunger and thirst in the effort, He will prepare a veritable feast before us, a table spread even in the presence of our enemies—contemporary enemies—which might include fear or family worries, sickness or personal sorrow of a hundred different kinds. In a crowning act of compassion at such a supper He anoints our head with oil and administers a blessing of strength to our soul. Our cup runneth over with His kindness, and our tears runneth over with joy. We weep to know that such goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life, and that we will, if we desire it, dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I pray this morning that all who are hungering and thirsting, and sometimes wandering, will hear this invitation from Him who is the Bread of Life, the Fountain of Living Water, the Good Shepherd of us all, the Son of God: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, … and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Truly He does fill “the hungry with good things” I pray for these blessings and bear witness of these truths in the sacred and holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts into our lives,
is the perfect preparation for a future only He can see.”
Expect to have your hope rekindled.
Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways.
The dry seasons in life do not last.
The spring rains will come again.
