“Our responsibility is to rise from mediocrity to competence, from failure to achievement,” “Our task is to become our best selves. One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.”
“Essential to the plan [of salvation] is our Savior, Jesus Christ. Without His atoning sacrifice, all would be lost. It is not enough, however, merely to believe in Him and His mission. We need to work and learn, search and pray, repent and improve. We need to know God’s laws and live them. We need to receive His saving ordinances. Only by so doing will we obtain true, eternal happiness.”
The prophet of God passed away last night and Prophet, God will make another man for His work will go on. How blessed we are to have a God who wants to speak to us today through representatives he sends to the earth. Whether you believe in a prophet or not we would be wise to heed those who God has placed in our lives. "Repent all ye ends of the earth" and "Prepare ye the way of the Lord".
