The Lord Jesus Christ is our partner, helper and advocate.
The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony.
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.
Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord has established His Church once again among men.
The Lord has promised great rewards for those who reach out to strengthen their brothers and sisters.
For me, the Lord has opened the windows of heaven and showered blessings upon my family beyond my ability to express.
