As we look into the future, we are going to need to be stronger and more responsible for our choices in a world where people call evil good, and good evil. We do not choose wisely if we use our agency in opposition to God's will or to priesthood counsel. Tomorrow's blessings and opportunities depend on the choices we make today.
