With the power of God, we will not be persuaded to retreat from a good thing. As we remember and recognize His power, we will not be fooled by counterfeits.

Whether we feel loved or unloved, we can show God’s love to those around us because He loves us. When we love Him, we are better able to love as He does.

As we familiarize ourselves with the Old Testament, we can be more prepared to recognize the hand of God in these latter days, and we will be better equipped to see as His prophecies are fulfilled.

We are each on a journey home to our Heavenly Father, who is longing for our safe return. We can make it safely home if we stay connected to the one reliable source of guidance: Jesus Christ.

In the English language, the word “goodbye” comes from the phrase “God be with ye.” May God be with you as we part.

Because of Christ, dreams of peace and healing can become reality. Because of His infinite atonement, we can each have our vision cleared; have our ears opened; be made whole, clean, and pure; and rise victorious over the grave.

At Easter, we focus on the Savior’s death and resurrection. But at Christmas, the world remembers His life.

In the northern hemisphere, today is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. However, the light of Christ is always shining, even when it feels distant. As we seek the Savior, we will find the light and hope we so desperately need in a dark world.

At times we face sorrow, despair, and other painful experiences that come in this mortal life. But “God is not dead, nor doth he sleep.” Through Christ, we can be healed, and all things will work together for our good.
