The Choice is Ours to "Live the Gospel Joyful"
October 2014 General Conference President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I really really enjoyed this talk and just wanted to share a few of the quotes that really struck me.
"Your Heavenly Father has high aspirations for you, but your divine origin alone does not guarantee you a divine inheritance. God sent you here to prepare for a future greater than anything you can imagine."
"In other words, He not only knows what is best for you; He also anxiously wants you to choose what is best for you."
"We need to accept that the commandments of God aren’t just a long list
of good ideas. They aren’t “life hacks” from an Internet blog or
motivational quotes from a Pinterest board. They are divine counsel,
based on eternal truths, given to bring “peace in this world, and
eternal life in the world to come.”
"When we treat God’s commandments and our part in building His kingdom
like something to check off on a to-do list, we miss the heart of
discipleship. We miss the growth that comes from joyfully living the
commandments of our Father in Heaven."
"...experience a renewed and an expanded measure of the beautiful love of
God in your lives; that you will find the faith, determination, and
commitment to learn God’s commandments, treasure them in your hearts,
and live the gospel joyful."
"...you will discover your best self—your real self. You will discover what it truly means to be a daughter of the everlasting God, the Lord of all righteousness."
