Your future is not determined by the conditions around you. It is determined by your faith, your choices, and your efforts

Sometimes we want to have growth without challenges and to develop strength without any struggle. But growth cannot come by taking the easy way. We clearly understand that an athlete who resists rigorous training will never become a world-class athlete. We must be careful that we don't resent the very things that help us put on the divine nature.

When you are faced with an important decision, be sure that your choice will lead you nearer to Christ.

We must be careful that we don't resent the very things that help us put on the divine nature.

Every time we are obedient to the words of the prophets and apostles we reap great blessings. We receive more blessings than we can understand at the time, and we continue to receive blessings long after our initial decision to be obedient.
