"The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people."
Marvin J. Ashton
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "Hmmm..," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YAY!" she exclaimed. "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
The miracle of Christ's charity both saves and changes us. His atoning love saves us from death and hell as well as from carnal, sensual, and devilish behavior. That redeeming love transforms the soul, lifting it beyond fallen standards to something far more noble and holy…cleave unto charity--Christ's pure love of us and our determined effort towards pure love of Him and others--without it we are nothing and our plan for eternal happiness is wasted. Without the redeeming love of Christ in our lives all other qualities even virtuous qualities fall short of salvation and joy."
Jeffrey R. Holland
"Real faith fosters hope…it allows us to look beyond ourselves and our present cares. Fortified by hope, we are moved to demonstrate the pure love of Christ through daily acts of obedience and Christian service….The trial of faith, hope and charity, which brings us to Christ, has strong linkage---faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ…hope is in the Atonement and charity is the pure love of Christ."
M. Russell Ballard
"To gain unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ is to flood your life with brilliant light. You are no longer alone to struggle with challenges you know you can't resolve or control yourself…If you are despondent, racked by transgression, ill, alone or desperately in need of comfort and support, I testify the Lord will help you when you obey the spiritual law upon which that help is predicated. He is your Father, you are His child. He loves you. He will never let you down."
Richard G. Scott
Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope-- young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor. Everybody in this life has challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose, which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
James E. Faust
"The nearer we get to Heavenly Father the more we are disposed to look with compassion upon perishing souls. We feel we want to take them upon our shoulders and cast their sins behind our backs."
Joseph Smith, Jr.
