Russell M. Nelson quotes about
If the restoration did anything it shattered the age-old myth that God has stopped talking to his children.
The development of faith in the Lord is an individual matter. Repentance is also an individual matter. Only as an individual can one be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. Each of us is born individually; likewise, each of us is "born again" individually. Salvation is an individual matter.
Marriage is sanctified when it is cherished and honored in holiness. That union is not merely between husband and wife; it embraces a partnership with God.
The only duration of family life that satisfies the loftiest longings of the human soul is forever.
Each marriage starts with two built-in handicaps. It involves two imperfect people.
For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, … they without us cannot be made perfect—neither can we without our dead be made perfect.
How you deal with life’s trials is part of the development of your faith.
Counting blessings is better than recounting problems
The Savior's way of life is good.
From the holy scriptures, heaven-sent lift will be found for heaven-sent duties.
Ask the missionaries, they can help you
Some of the sweetest spirits are housed in frail frames. Great spiritual strength is often developed by those with physical challenges precisely because they are challenged. Such individuals are entitled to all the blessings that God has in store for His faithful and obedient children.
Living life in separate compartments can lead to internal conflict and exhausting tension.
Material possessions and honors of the world do not endure. But your union as wife, husband, and family can. No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage. By making and keeping sacred temple covenants, we evidence our love for God, for our companion, and our real regard for our posterity-even those yet unborn. Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity.
