These are the days in which a true leader wants to live. These are days when opportunities to change lives and even destinies are nearly endless. You are running the anchor leg of the relay because you were born to lead. You were born for glory.
The most effective way to share the gospel is to live it. When we live like disciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good, others will be drawn to us.
Few of us will reach our potential without the nurturing of both the mother who bore us and the mothers who bear with us.
The last days are not for the faint of heart or the spiritually out of shape.
Do you think there is any chance the Lord would have inspired his prophets to prophesy about us, only to then take a chance on the outcome of the latter days by sending men and women he couldn't count on? There is no chance - zero chance - He would have done that.
No woman who understands the gospel would ever think that any other work is more important or would ever say, "I am just a mother," for mothers heal the souls of men.
No amount of time in front of the mirror will make you as attractive as having the Holy Ghost with you.
If you're serious about sanctification, you can expect to experience heart-wrenching moments that try your faith, your endurance, and your patience.
Thus, when we plead for the gift of charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or someone who has injured or wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed, for our character and disposition to become more and more like the Savior's, so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do.
Motherhood is more than bearing children...It is the essence of who we are as women.
Happily, though we must each walk through life on our own, we don't have to do it alone.
Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?
Life, like classical music, is full of difficult passages that are conquered as much through endurance and determination as through any particular skill.
There is one thing the power of God and the power of Satan have in common: Neither can influence us unless we allow them to.
We are here to influence the world rather than to be influenced by the world.
For the Holy Ghost blesses us with optimism and wisdom at times of challenge that we simply cannot muster on our own.
We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.
Everything that's important - you can take with you.
The compelling truth of the Restoration is that the heavens are open. This Church is a Church of revelation. Our challenge is not one in getting the Lord to speak to us. Our challenge is learning to hear what He has to say.
The Savior empowers us with His grace, not because we've earned it, but because He loves us perfectly.
Speaking of our unkind labeling of each other with, "she is divorced, she used to be inactive, etc", asked, "Can't we get over this hardening of the categories?".
Challenges that tax our faith are usually opportunities to stretch and strengthen our faith by finding out if we really believe the Lord will help us.
He knows of our anguish, and He is there for us. Like the Good Samaritan in His parable, when He finds us wounded at the wayside, He binds up our wounds and cares for us (see Luke 10:34). Brothers and sisters, the healing power of His Atonement is for you, for us, for all.
You were born to lead as mothers and fathers because nowhere is righteous leadership more crucial than in the family. You were born to lead as priesthood and auxiliary leaders, as heads of communities, companies, and even nations. You were born to lead as men and women willing 'to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places' because that's what a true leader does.
It is possible to be clean in a dirty world.
