He is 'formed' in us

“Every influence for peace ought to be exercised. Lucifer is exercising every means to destroy the souls of the human family. He is more active than he has ever been and he works in such an insidious way. I will not take time to enumerate the many ways he employs but there is one way in which he operates, and has operated from the beginning of the world, and that is to tempt one individual to destroy the reputation of another by saying unkind things of them.”

George Albert Smith

…Our relationship with God is most sacred and vital. We are His spirit children. He is our Father. He desires our happiness. As we seek Him, as we learn of His Son, Jesus Christ, as we open our hearts to the influence of the Holy Spirit, our lives become more stable and secure. We experience greater peace, joy, and fulfillment as we give our best to live according to God’s eternal plan and keep His commandments.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“In the quiet hours, in the heat of battle, and through the hazards of the day; in
times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing, let us pray always, both
alone, and with our families gathered around us, with gratitude for the blessings of
life, for understanding of its problems, and for strength to endure to the end.”

Heber J. Grant

 “While there may be thorns and disappointments, while there may be heartache, even heartbreak, there can be peace and comfort and strength from the Lord for those who follow Him.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“’Inasmuch as long-suffering, patience, and mercy have ever characterized the dealings of our heavenly Father towards the humble and penitent, I feel disposed to copy the example, cherish the same principles, and by so doing be a savior of my fellow man.’  The Prophet’s words admonish each of us to learn the ways of our Heavenly Father and copy his example. In so doing, we will bring peace and contentment into our lives and perhaps influence others to come back to the Lord.”

Roderick J. Linton

“At times we may rationalize that the Lord will understand our disobedience because our special circumstances make adherence to His laws difficult, embarrassing, or even painful. However, faithful obedience, regardless of the apparent size of the task, will bring the Lord’s guidance, assistance, and peace.”

Bruce A. Carlson

“We are all prone to brood on the evil done us. That brooding becomes as a gnawing and destructive canker. Is there a virtue more in need of application in our time than the virtue of forgiving and forgetting? There are those who would look upon this as a sign of weakness. Is it? I submit that it takes neither strength nor intelligence to brood in anger over wrongs suffered, to go through life with a spirit of vindictiveness, to dissipate one’s abilities in planning retribution. There is no peace in the nursing of a grudge.’”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“When we strive to be Christlike, He is ‘formed’ in us [Gal. 4:18–19]; if we open the door, He will enter; if we seek His counsel, He will counsel us. For Christ to be ‘formed’ in us, we must have a belief in Him and in His Atonement. Such a belief in Christ and the keeping of His commandments are not restraints upon us.

By these, men are set free.

This Prince of Peace waits to give peace of mind,

which may make each of us a channel of that peace.”

Howard W. Hunter

 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

Gal. 4:18–19

“…fill our days as much as we can with those things which matter most.”

Thomas S. Monson
