Come to Love It

"As we read, ponder, and pray over the word of God, we will come to love it. The Lord puts it in our hearts. As we feel that love, we will begin to love the Lord more and more. With that will come the love for others that we need in order to strengthen those whom God puts in our path."

President Henry B. Eyring, "Testimony and Conversion," Ensign, Feb 2015, 5.

Truly Converted

"The Lord taught us that when we are truly converted to His gospel, our hearts will be turned from selfish concerns and turned toward service to lift others as they move upward to eternal life. To obtain that conversion, we can pray and work in faith to become the new creature made possible by the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

"We can start by praying for the faith to repent of selfishness and for the gift of caring for others more than ourselves. We can pray for the power to lay aside pride and envy."

President Henry B. Eyring, "Testimony and Conversion," Ensign, Feb 2015, 4-5.

Scripture Heroes Night

"For one of our family home evenings we decided to plan a "Scripture Heroes Night," Each os us chose someone from the scriptures to learn more about, and we have ourselves two weeks to prepare presentations  on our selected heroes. Preparations included studying the scriptures and searching LDS.org for pictures, videos, and other resources. When the highly anticipated night arrived, each of us shared what we had learned, and each presentation proved to be unique, colorful, and insightful. At the end we each shared a brief testimony of what our heroes meant to us and how we could become more like them. Our love of the scriptures grew as we got to know individuals from the scriptures more deeply."

Kathryn Fielding, Ensign, Feb 2015, 3.

Trust in Heavenly Father's Love

"Satan recognizes that healing comes through the unwavering love of Heavenly Father for each of His children. He also understands that the power of healing is inherent in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. . . . Do not let Satan convince you that you are beyond his help.

...Recognize that if you have feelings that you are not loved by your Father in Heaven, you are being manipulated by Satan."

Richard G. Scott, "To Heal the Shattering Consequences of Abuse," Ensign, May 2008, 41.

Hatred is Like...

Someone once said that hatred is like "burning down you own house to get rid of a rat."

Loving Vs. Judging

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
