"I bear my special witness that Jesus Christ gave His life, making possible the salvation and exaltation of all the families of the earth. With all the feeling of a tender parent, I express my love and the love of our Heavenly Father to you and your family. May we gather our loved ones around us, 'gird up [our] loins; [and] fresh courage take. Our God will never us forsake.' With faith, courage, and love, families will truly be together forever." -Robert D. Hales
I love this quote because it brings so much hope. That in and through Jesus Christ we can repent and be forgiven. If we allow the atonement to work in our lives by having faith, courage and love and acting we will have eternal life.
Galatians 4: 19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.
Teaches us that we must allow ourselves to be Christ’s by giving away all of our sins and turning to Him for deliverance.
2 Corinthians 1: 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;  
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
I love this scripture because I truly believe that after we have gone through something difficult the Lord put people in our path that will benefit from us being able to empathize and lift them in their trails. If we think about it, there were people there when we went through seeming to have gone through the very same thing and could life you. We must take the comfort we received from God through angles on earth of the Holy Ghost and turn around and comfort others.
Romans 5: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
I am amazed that even though Christ knew we would sin and He knew He would have to suffer for our sins He died for us. And God loves us so very much they He gave His Son to die for us knowing how much He would suffer. That is wonderful.
