Testing 101

When you are going through something hard and wonder where

God is remember the teacher is always quiet during a test.

Trust in the Lord

 

….individual worth... how each individual piece is beautiful on its own.

But what a masterpiece you get when you put them all together!

 

 

Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.

Though we are imperfect God loves us perfectly.

 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

“A babe born in a stable of the village of Bethlehem,

“A boy reared as a carpenter of Nazareth,

“A citizen of a conquered and subdued nation,

“A man whose mortal footsteps never went beyond a radius of 150 miles, who never received a school degree, who never spoke from a great pulpit, who never owned a home, who traveled afoot and without purse….

“Truly, his coming, ministry, and place in our eyes is as foretold by the ancient prophet Isaiah: ‘For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,

The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

Gordon B. Hinckley

“Seeking implies so much more than merely looking. Seek means energy, direction, passion, purpose. To seek requires all our ‘heart, might, mind and strength’ ….How do we seek with our minds? With our intellect we can ponder, we can analyze our circumstances, we can sort and sift information, weigh our options; we can store ideas, we can draw conclusions from our experiences, find answers to our problems; we can treasure thoughts and receive revelation. Isn’t that what the Lord meant when he said, ‘You must study it out in your mind’ and then ask me if these things are not true?

Elaine L. Jack

“…We have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord. We can’t quit and we can’t go back. After an encounter with the living Son of the living God, nothing is ever again to be as it was before. The Crucifixion, Atonement, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the beginning of a Christian life, not the end of it.”
