As an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I testify to you this day that the time will come when every one of us will look into the Savior's loving eyes.
The birth of the Savior into mortality is an event of immeasurable significance that occurred almost 2,000 years ago. In much of the world, calendar years are numbered forward and backward from the entire time of His birth.
Wherever I go throughout the world - no matter the language, no matter the culture - I thrill to hear the testimonies of the Saints.
When the Savior Himself was born, there were troubled times.
When some people have a difficult job to do, they give up everything else until that job is finished. Others just give up.
We think we own things, but the reality is, our things own us.
We can easily get our lives out of balance.
Too often today, we do not rely on faith so much as on our own ability to reason and solve problems.
Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord has established His Church once again among men.
There was never any doubt of Christ's priorities.
The Prophet Joseph Smith lived in troubled times.
The Lord has promised great rewards for those who reach out to strengthen their brothers and sisters.
The Holy Ghost will warn us of danger, and it will inspire us to help others in need.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is not a religion of mourning and gloom.
