Focus Like Never Before
My dear brothers and sisters, may you focus on the temple in ways you never have before. I bless you to grow closer to God and Jesus Christ every day. – Russell M. Nelson, “Focus on the Temple,” Ensign (CR) October 2022
Justice, Repentance, Mercy
Alma testified that Christ would take away sin.21 Without the Savior’s Atonement, the eternal principle of justice would require punishment.22 Because of the Savior’s Atonement, mercy can prevail for those who have repented, and it can allow them to return to the presence of God. We would do well to ponder this wonderful doctrine. – Quentin L. Cook, […]
Hard Things Are No Surprise
The hard things in our lives should come as no surprise once we have entered the strait and narrow path.12 Jesus Christ learned “obedience by the things which he suffered.”13 As we follow Him, especially in our difficult times, we can grow to become more like Him. – Isaac K. Morrison, “We Can Do Hard Things through […]
Online Witnesses
Members of the Church stand as witnesses of God at all times, in all things, and in all places.5 Opportunities to do this in the digital universe using inspiring content of our own or sharing uplifting content prepared by others are endless. We testify when we love, share, and invite, even online. Your tweets, direct messages, […]
The Word Made Flesh
I testify that our Heavenly Father has given us the word because He loves us perfectly and wants each of us to return home to live with Him forever. I testify of “the Word … made flesh,”28 even Jesus the Christ, and of His power to save and to redeem us. I know that His virtue flows […]
Look unto Him
When we are faithful and true, we follow Jesus’s call to “abide in me,” which can also mean “stay with me.”39 When we are confronted with questions, when we are mocked for our faith, when the fingers of scorn are pointed at us by those in the world’s great and spacious buildings, we remain faithful and […]
Simplicity
When we have questions or doubts, we may feel that the solutions are too complex or that finding answers is too confusing. May we remember that the adversary, even the father of all lies, is the architect of confusion.8 The Savior is the Master of simplicity. – Ryan K. Olsen, “The Answer is Jesus,” Ensign […]
Gifts to Lift
The commandments and covenants He offers you are not tests to control you. They are a gift to lift you toward receiving all the gifts of God and returning home to your Heavenly Father and the Lord, who love you. – Henry B. Eyring, “Legacy of Encouragement,” Ensign (CR) October 2022
Overcoming Exhaustion
You can overcome the spiritually and emotionally exhausting plagues of the world, including arrogance, pride, anger, immorality, hatred, greed, jealousy, and fear. Despite the distractions and distortions that swirl around us, you can find true rest—meaning relief and peace—even amid your most vexing problems. – Russell M. Nelson, “Overcome the World and Find Rest,” Ensign (CR) […]
Daily Distractions
In the busyness of our daily lives and in the commotion of the contemporary world in which we live, we may be distracted from the eternal things that matter the most by making pleasure, prosperity, popularity, and prominence our primary priorities. Our short-term preoccupation with “the things of this world” and “the honors of men” […]
