Walk Confidently

I testify that by the Spirit of Christ and by the Holy Ghost, you may walk confidently in whatever difficulties will come.  Because you are so valuable, some of your trials may be severe.  You need never be discouraged or afraid.  The way through difficulties has always been prepared for you, and you will find it if you exercise faith.  (Pres. Henry B Eyring, General Young Women's Meeting, March 29 2008)

God never leaves us alone

I am testifying that God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. "Nor will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man (or woman or child) upon the face of thereof to be saved. (Moroni 7:36)" -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Ministry of Angels," Ensign, Nov 08, p 31

to be full of love

Alma instructed his brethren to humble themselves before the Lord, to pray continually about temptation, and be led by the Holy Spirit.  And if they did these three things, they would become "humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering" (Alma 13:28).  In sum, basically, Alma instructs us to humble ourselves, to pray and then to listen as we are led by the Holy Spirit.  Following these three steps will assist us in acquiring the ability to become full of love.  (Paul R. Cheesman, ed, The Book of Mormon: The Keystone Scripture, 1988, 153)

Seedlings of God

As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.  (Russel M. Nelson, Perfection Pending and Other Favorite Discourses, 1998, p. 137)
