A Life Centered on Jesus Christ
True joy comes when we focus on what is within our control and then center and recenter our faith and life on Jesus Christ.
“Lay Hold upon the Word”: The Power of Wholehearted Living
I believe that one of the most significant obstacles to our laying hold upon the word is our inability to fully immerse ourselves in the word or other worthwhile things—our inability to fully focus on them.
Stand Up Straight, Smile, and Remember Who You Are
I testify that if you seek help and invite others into your life, then your life will be fuller, your success will be more meaningful, and you will find peace.
Overcoming Discouragement
"It is this we must always remember: No matter how alone or discouraged we may feel, our Father in Heaven is always there to help us."
There Is Always Hope
Reverberating through all eternity, all creation exults: “In Christ there is always hope.” I know whereof I speak.
To the Lonely and Misunderstood
Once in my life, I had the feelings of being left out. I now share the companionship of incomparable brotherhood and sisterhood, a feeling of belonging, of being useful, and I recognize that it comes only from sincere striving to live the commandments of the Lord.
For Times of Trouble
Troubles we all have, but the “germ” of discouragement, to use Fitzgerald’s word, is not in the trouble, it is in us.
Never Give Up!
When school, the weather, or life in general leaves you in a state of the "blahs," reach up. Reach out. Learn. And never, never give up.
God Is the Gardener
Whatever undertakings may demand of you and of your attention, I tell you, young men and young women, you cannot make a better resolution today than this: “I am going to keep close to the Lord. I am going to understand Him better, and, understanding Him, I will understand myself and will try to put my life into harmony with His.”
