More quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Image
Each of us is under a divinely spoken obligation to reach out with pardon and mercy and to forgive one another. There is a great need for this Christlike attribute in our families, in our marriages, in our wards and stakes, in our communities, and in our nations.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
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
Image
We cannot go back in time and change the past but we can repent.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
To those who have separated themselves from the Church, I say, my dear friends, there is yet a place for you here.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
As we patiently follow the Savior, He will bless us beyond our own capacity to become what He wants us to be.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans said that those who pass judgment on others are 'inexcusable.' The moment we judge someone else, he explained, we condemn ourselves, for none is without sin. Refusing to forgive is a grievous sin-one the Savior warned against.

You will suffer, be tempted, and make mistakes. You will learn for yourself what every heroine has learned: through overcoming challenges come growth and strength. It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Yes, we will make mistakes. Yes, we will falter. But as we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us. The darkness will surely fade, because it cannot exist in the presence of light. As we draw near to God, He will draw near to us.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
This is our high and holy calling-to be agents of Jesus Christ, to love as He loved, to serve as He served.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Patience is a godly attribute that can heal souls, unlock treasures of knowledge and understanding, and transform ordinary men and women into saints and angels. Patience is truly a fruit of the Spirit. Patience means staying with something until the end. It means delaying immediate gratification for future blessings.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
I bare witness that our living hope is in Jesus Christ.. I testify that with Christ, darkness cannot succeed.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Endings are not our destiny...They are merely interruptions-temporary pauses that one day will seem small compared to the eternal joy awaiting the faithful.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
The heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who recognized that they were off course and who corrected their ways to get back in the light of gospel truth.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
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.

Image
The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.

Image
God's promises are not always fulfilled as quickly as or in the way we might hope they come according to His timing and in His ways.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Often the answer to our prayer does not come while we're on our knees, but while we're on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Since the beginning of time, love has been the source of both the highest bliss and the heaviest burdens. At the heart of misery from the days of Adam until today, you will find the love of wrong things. And at the heart of joy, you will find the love of good things.And the greatest of all good things is God.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
No matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up... You are stronger than you realize.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Image
Never give up on anyone. And that includes not giving up on yourself.
