"It is beyond my power of thought to imagine all that this promise entails. But I do know it is grand, it is divine, it is eternal, and it is worth all of our efforts in life."
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Four Titles,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2013, 60)
"[The king] had an unshakable knowledge of his identity. As a young man, he was kidnapped by evil men who had dethroned his father, the king. These men knew that if they could destroy him morally, he would not be heir to the throne. For six months they subjected him to every vile thing life had to offer, and yet he never yielded under pressure. This puzzled his captors, and after doing everything they could think of, they asked him why he had such great moral strength. His reply was simple. He said, “I cannot do what you ask, for I was born to be a king” [see Vaughn J. Featherstone, “The King’s Son,” New Era, Nov. 1975, 35].
"Like the king’s son, each of you has inherited a royal birthright. Each of you has a divine heritage."
(Elaine S. Dalton, “Remember Who You Are!,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 121)
"If we desire “all that [the] Father hath” [ Doctrine and Covenants 84:38 ], God asks all that we have. To qualify for such exquisite treasure, in whatever way is ours, we must give the way Christ gave—every drop He had: “How exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not” [ Doctrine and Covenants 19:15 ]. Paul said, “If so be that we suffer with him,” we are “joint-heirs with Christ” [ Romans 8:17 ; emphasis added]. All of His heart, all of our hearts."
(Bruce C. Hafen, “The Atonement: All for All,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2004, 98)
"I do not know why we have the many trials that we have, but it is my personal feeling that the reward is so great, so eternal and everlasting, so joyful and beyond our understanding that in that day of reward, we may feel to say to our merciful, loving Father, “Was that all that was required?” I believe that if we could daily remember and recognize the depth of that love our Heavenly Father and our Savior have for us, we would be willing to do anything to be back in Their presence again, surrounded by Their love eternally. What will it matter … what we suffered here if, in the end, those trials are the very things which qualify us for eternal life and exaltation in the kingdom of God with our Father and Savior?"
(Linda S. Reeves, “Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2015, 11)
"Our Heavenly Father, who loves us completely and perfectly, permits us to have experiences that will allow us to develop the traits and attributes we need to become more and more Christlike. Our trials come in many forms, but each will allow us to become more like the Savior as we learn to recognize the good that comes from each experience. As we understand this doctrine, we gain greater assurance of our Father’s love. We may never know in this life why we face what we do, but we can feel confident that we can grow from the experience."
(James B. Martino, “All Things Work Together for Good,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 101)
"Your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there."
(Thomas S. Monson, “We Never Walk Alone,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2013, 123–24)
"[God’s] love is described in scripture as “great and wonderful love,” “perfect love,” “redeeming love,” and “everlasting love.” These are better terms because the word unconditional can convey mistaken impressions about divine love, such as, God tolerates and excuses anything we do because His love is unconditional, or God makes no demands upon us because His love is unconditional, or all are saved in the heavenly kingdom of God because His love is unconditional. God’s love is infinite and it will endure forever, but what it means for each of us depends on how we respond to His love."
(D. Todd Christofferson, “Abide in My Love,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2016, 48)
