If we constantly focus on the stones in our mortal path, we will almost surely miss the beautiful flower or cool stream provided by a loving Father who outlined our journey.

More quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
In seeking true peace some of us need to improve what has to be improved, confess what needs to be confessed, forgive what needs to be forgiven, and forget what should be be forgotten in order that serenity can come to us.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In a world of unrest and fear, political turmoil and moral drift, I testify that Jesus is the Christ—that He is the living Bread and living Water—still, yet, and always the great Shield of safety in our lives.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Excellence does not come easily or quickly-- an excellent education does not, a successful mission does not, a strong, loving marriage does not, rewarding personal relationships do not. It is simply a truism that nothing very valuable can come without significant sacrifice, effort, and patience on our part.
Jeffrey R. Holland
There is again a living prophet on the earth speaking in the name of the Lord. And how we need such guidance! Our times are turbulent and difficult. We see wars internationally and distress domestically. Neighbors all around us face personal heartaches and family sorrows. Legions know fear and troubles of a hundred kinds.
Jeffrey R. Holland
(Phillipians 3:14) No Lots wife here. No looking back at Sodom and Gomorrah here. Paul knows it is out there in the future, up ahead wherever heaven is taking us, that we will win the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies.
Jeffrey R. Holland
The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced, then we look ahead we remember that faith is always pointed toward the future.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Just believing, just having a molecule of faith--that simple step, when focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, has ever been and always will be not only the first principle of His Eternal Gospel but also the first step out of despair.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Along with filters on computers and a lock on affections, remember that the only real control in life is self-control.
Jeffrey R. Holland
God expects you not simply to face the future He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Coveting, pouting, or tearing others down does not elevate your standing, nor does demeaning someone else improve your self-image.
Jeffrey R. Holland
We declare that one who uses the God-given body of another without divine sanction abuses the very soul of that individual, abuses the central purpose and processes of life.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Sometimes it seems especially difficult to submit to great tribulation when we look around and see others seemingly much less obedient who triumph even as we weep. But time is measured only unto man, says Alma (see Alma 40:8), and God has a very good memory.
Jeffrey R. Holland
May the joy of our fidelity to the highest and best within us be ours as we keep our love and our marriages, our society and our souls, as pure as they were meant to be.
Jeffrey R. Holland
It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Your love for Jesus Christ and your discipleship in His cause must be the consuming preoccupation and passion of your mortality.
Jeffrey R. Holland
A life without problems or limitations or challenges--life without opposition in all things, as Lehi phrased it (2 Nephi 2:11)--would paradoxically but in very fact be less rewarding and less ennobling than one which confronts--even frequently confronts--difficulty and disappointment and sorrow.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Stay in the race. Keep running. Keep walking. Keep praying. The Lord will renew your strength.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Rich or poor, we are to “do what we can” when others are in need.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I know we can each do something, however small that act may seem to be. We can pay an honest tithe and give our fast and free-will offerings, according to our circumstances. And we can watch for other ways to help.
Jeffrey R. Holland
