Dieter F. Uchtdorf quotes about
christ
Christ's gospel is the only true gospel.
jesus heart healing
In the middle of [the] despair [of postwar Germany], my family learned about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and the healing message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. This message made all the difference; it lifted us above our daily misery. Life was still thorny and the circumstances still horrible, but the gospel brought light, hope, and joy into our lives. The plain and simple truths of the gospel warmed our hearts and enlightened our minds. They helped us look at ourselves and the world around us with different eyes and from an elevated viewpoint.
agency needs time-on-earth
You are to do the choosing here and now during this exciting and wonderful time on earth. Moral agency, the freedom to choose, is certainly one of God's greatest gifts next to life itself. We have the honorable right to choose; therefore, we need to choose the right. This is not always easy.
understanding inquiry acorns
The acorn of honest inquiry has often sprouted and matured into a great oak of understanding.
might principles priesthood
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.
regret yesterday today
The deepest regret of yesterday can be made right by following the Savior today.
small-acts bless acts-of-service
Often small acts of service are all that is required to lift and bless another.
regret giving one-day
If we fail to give our time with those we love, one day we will live to regret it.
stronger matter realizing
No matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up... You are stronger than you realize.
prayer compassion promise
It is my prayer that patience will be a defining characteristic of we who hold the priesthood of Almighty God; that we will courageously trust the Lord's promises and His timing; that we will act toward others with the patience and compassion we seek for ourselves; and that we will continue in patience until we are perfected.
imagine greater
God sent you here to prepare for a future greater than anything can imagine.
were-meant-to-be concentration persons
Rise up and become the person you were meant to be.
years waiting waste
We can sometimes waste years of our lives waiting to be chosen. But that is a false premise. You are already chosen!
spiritual jesus fall
Every person, young and old, has had his own personal experience with falling. Falling is what we mortals do. But as long as we are willing to rise up again and continue on the path toward the spiritual goals God has given us, we can learn something from failure and become better and happier as a result. My dear friends, no matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up! Your destiny is a glorious one! Stand tall and walk in the light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! You are stronger than you realize. You are more capable than you can imagine. You can do it now!
