What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.

More quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Like the shepherds of old, we need to say in our hearts, “Let us see this thing which is come to pass.” We need to desire it in our hearts. Let us see the Holy One of Israel in the manger, in the temple, on the mount, and on the cross. Like the shepherds, let us glorify and praise God for these tidings of great joy!
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
As we seek the Lord ever more diligently, we will surely find Him. We will see clearly that the Lord does not abandon His Church or His faithful Saints. Our eyes will be opened, and we will see Him open the windows of heaven and shower us with more of His light. We will find the spiritual strength to survive even during the darkest night.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The most important thing is to keep trying...
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long, we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
We cannot go back in time and change the past but we can repent.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
As we contemplate with reverence and awe how our Savior embraces us, comforts us, and heals us, let us commit to become His hands, that others through us may feel His loving embrace.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The pure love of Christ can remove the scales of resentment and wrath from our eyes, allowing us to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees us: as flawed and imperfect mortals who have potential and worth far beyond our capacity to imagine. Because God loves us so much, we too must love and forgive each other.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
…Hold on a little longer—even when things look bleak. Know and remember this: the Lord loves you. He remembers you. And He will ever sustain those who ‘endure in faith to the end’ (D&C 20:25).
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Lifting where we stand is a principle of power. Most of the priesthood bearers I know understand and live by this principle. They are eager to roll up their sleeves and go to work, whatever that work might be.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The responsibility of building leadership in the Church belongs to the father and the mother. . . . As youth grow and mature through their teenage years and move toward adulthood, the Church picks up an important role in this process of giving youth an opportunity to lead, but it begins in the home.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I am optimistic about the future. Brethren, for our part, we must remain steadfast in hope, work with all our strength, and trust in God.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Never give up on anyone. And that includes not giving up on yourself.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Christlike attributes come into our lives as we exercise our agenncy righteously.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
. . . the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair let us feel the silent prayers of others around us and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The very moment you begin to seek your Heavenly Father, in that moment, the hope of His light will begin to awaken, enliven, and ennoble your soul. The darkness may not dissipate all at once, but as surely as night always gives way to dawn, the light will come.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
We can choose to be grateful, no matter what. This type of gratitude transcends whatever is happening around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement and despair. It blooms just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the pleasant warmth of summer.
