"The first great commandment of all eternity is to love God with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength - that's the first great commandment.  But the first great truth of all eternity is that God loves us with all of His heart, might, mind, and strength."

-Jeffrey R. Holland

Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders Among You

LDS General Conference, April 2016

"I urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God's kindness . . .Tonight, and tomorrow night, you might pray and ponder, asking the questions:  Did God send a message that was just for me?  Did I see His hand in my life? . . . I testify that He loves us and blesses us, more than most of us have yet recognized."

-Henry B. Eyring
How to See and Remember God's Kindness, New Era, August 2011

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"Life's most persistent and urgent questions is, What are you doing for others?"

"I am like a pencil in [God's] hand.  That is all.  He does the thinking.  He does the writing.  The pencil has nothing to do with it.  The pencil has only to be allowed to be used."

-Mother Teresa
