Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. – Jeffrey R. Holland, “An High Priest of Good Things to Come,” Ensign (CR) November 1999
The loving service we offer in holy temples reminds us that the Savior’s grace extends beyond this life. In the life to come, we may be given new opportunities to accomplish what we could not do in this mortal life. – Gérald Caussé, “Compensating Blessings,” Liahona (CR) May 2025
One of the most important things we can learn in this life is the difference between what is eternal and what is not.
