GOD'S WORK

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, God's work in your life is bigger than the story you'd like that life to tell. His life is bigger than your plans, goals, or fears. To save your life, you'll have to lay down your stories and, minute by minute, day by day, give your life back to him."

- Adam S. Miller, "Letters To A Young Mormon (2014), p. 17-18

HE WILL BRING YOU HOME

"Our Saviour, the Good Shepherd, knows and loves us. He knows and loves YOU. He knows when you are lost, and He knows where you are. He knows your grief. Your silent pleadings. Your fears. Your tears. It matters not how you became lost - whether because of your own poor choices or because of circumstances beyond your control. What matters is that you are His child. And He loves you. Because He loves you, He will find you. He will place you upon His shoulders, rejoicing. And when he brings you come, He will say to one and all, 'Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.'

You may feel that your life is in ruins. You may have sinned. You may be afraid, angry, grieving, or tortured by doubt. But just as the Good Shepherd finds His lost sheep, if you will only lift up your heart to the Saviour of the world, He will find you. He will rescue you. He will lift you up and place you on His shoulders. He will carry you home."

- President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign May 2016, p 101

IN THE TIME OF A STORM

"A very large ship is benefited very much 

by a very small helm in the time of a storm, 

by being kept work ways with the wind and the ways."

"Under the overarching power of Christ's pure love

all spiritual powers are activated."

FEAR

 

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

- Jack Canfield

TREASURES IN HEAVEN

"We find in the many treasure passages [in the scriptures] that the treasure is the wisdom and knowledge we left behind us when we came down to this earth. In the premortal existence, we left our treasure in God's treasury, in His keeping. There it is, and by our good works here we can add to it; more will be waiting for us when we go back. In the Jewish apocrypha, God orders, by His word, the lights in the heavenly height, and by the utterance of His mouth He opens the treasury, where the righteous have a store of good works preserved.....everything we add to our credit is being preserved in God's treasury."

- Hugh Nibley, Temple and Cosmos, p 232-3
