The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God. Neil L. Andersen More Quotes by Neil L. Andersen More Quotes From Neil L. Andersen Like the intense fire that transforms iron into steel, as we remain faithful during the fiery trial of our faith, we are spiritually refined and strengthened. Neil L. Andersen faithfulironfire Your faith will not grow by chance, but by choice. Neil L. Andersen growschancechoices Spiritual questions deserve spiritual answers from God. Neil L. Andersen deservespiritualanswers Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. You do not collect children because you find them cuter than stamps. It is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for. Neil L. Andersen momgodinspirational The Lord will make much more out of your life than you can by yourself. Neil L. Andersen lord We can work, study, laugh and have fun, dance, sing, and enjoy many different experiences. These are a wonderful part of life, but they are not central to why we are here. The opportunity to choose good over evil is precisely why we are here. Not one of us would say, "I want to choose evil." We all want to choose the right. However, the choice of good over evil is not always easy, because evil frequently lurks behind smiling eyes. Neil L. Andersen eyeopportunityfun We each have moments of spiritual power, moments of inspiration and revelation. We must sink them deep into the chambers of our souls. As we do, we prepare our spiritual home storage for moments of personal difficulty. Neil L. Andersen inspirationspiritualhome Everyone, regardless of his or her decisions, deserves our kindness!

You immerse yourself in the very thing that helped your core of faith: you exercise faith in Christ, you pray, you ponder the scriptures, you repent, you keep the commandments, and you serve others. Neil L. Andersen scripturetrialsexercise We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to teach and bless those who seek Him. Neil L.

Andersen differentlordblessing When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God. There is always a place for you here. No trial is so large we can't overcome it together. Neil L. Andersen safetyovercomingtogether These fiery trials are designed to make you stronger, but they have the potential to diminish or even destroy your trust in the Son of God and to weaken your resolve to keep your promises to Him. These trials are often camouflaged, making them difficult to identify. They take root in our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities, our sensitivities, or in those things that matter most to us. A real but manageable test for one can be a fiery trial for another. Neil L. Andersen adversityrealson The wisdom of the world, while in many cases very valuable, is most valuable when it humbly bows to the wisdom of God. Neil L.

In truth, it is a lifelong migration toward a more celestial world. Neil L. Andersen trackjourneyworld It is within the sanctuary of the Church that we protect our faith. Meeting together with others who believe, we pray and find answers to our prayers; we worship through music, share testimony of the Savior, serve one another, and feel the Spirit of the Lord. We partake of the sacrament, receive the blessings of the priesthood, and attend the temple. . . When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God.
