Blessings
"Come unto me, O ye house of Israel, and it shall be made manifest unto you how great things the Father hath laid up for you, from the foundation of the world."
—Ether 4:14, Book of Mormon
Topics: Love, God, Covenants, Blessings"I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Consider the Blessings", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Blessings"Take an inventory of your life and look specifically for the blessings, large and small, you have received."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Consider the Blessings", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Blessings"To Christians who have returned to their old, less faithful ways, consider the faithful example of Peter. Do not delay. Come hear and recognize the Master’s voice calling. Then straightway return to Him and receive His abundant blessings once again."
—Robert D. Hales, "Being a More Christian Christian"
Topics: Repentance, Blessings"Declaring our testimony of the gospel is good, but being a living example of the restored gospel is better. Wishing to be more faithful to our covenants is good; actually being faithful to sacred covenants—including living a virtuous life, paying our tithes and offerings, keeping the Word of Wisdom, and serving those in need—is much better. Announcing that we will dedicate more time for family prayer, scripture study, and wholesome family activities is good; but actually doing all these things steadily will bring heavenly blessings to our lives."
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions", Liahona and Ensign, October 2012
Topics: Service, Blessings"As we follow [the Savior], He blesses us with gifts, talents, and the strength to do His will, allowing us to go beyond our comfort zones and do things we’ve never before thought possible."
—Robert D. Hales, "Being a More Christian Christian", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Work, Blessings"For the Master I extend thanks for your work to serve the children of our Heavenly Father. He knows you, and He sees your effort, diligence, and sacrifice. I pray that He will grant you the blessing of seeing the fruit of your labors in the happiness of those you have helped and with whom you have helped for the Lord."
—Henry B. Eyring, "Opportunities to Do Good", Liahona and Ensign, May 2011
Topics: Blessings, Service"In reality, there aren’t many things in a day that are totally without significance. Even the mundane and repetitious can be tiny but significant building blocks that in time establish the discipline and character and order needed to realize our plans and dreams. Therefore, as you ask in prayer for your daily bread, consider thoughtfully your needs—both what you may lack and what you must protect against. As you retire to bed, think about the successes and failures of the day and what will make the next day a little better. And thank your Heavenly Father for the manna He has placed along your path that sustained you through the day."
—D. Todd Christofferson, "Recognizing God's Hands in Our Daily Blessings", Liahona and Ensign, January 2012
