“I was only a young child, and we had lost all material
belongings twice within only seven years. We were refugees with an uncertain
future. However, during those same seven years, we gained more than any amount
of money could ever buy. We found a supernal refuge, a place of defense from
despair: the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and His Church, led by a true and
living prophet.
“The good news that Jesus Christ has made the perfect
Atonement for mankind, redeeming all from the grave and rewarding each
individual according to his or her works, was the healing power which brought
hope and peace back into my life.
“Whatever our challenges in life may be, our burdens may
become light if we not only believe in Christ but also in His ability and His
power to cleanse and console our lives. Our lives are healed as we accept His
peace.”
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Heeding the Voice of the
Prophets,” Ensign, July 2008, 5-6.
