Divine Love

Elder Jeffrey R Holland 
Christ and the New Covenant

 “The central fact, the crucial foundation, the chief doctrine, and the greatest expression of divine love in the eternal plan of salvation—truly a 'plan of happiness,' as Alma called it—is the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.”





Lord, I Believe

“Hope on. Journey on. Honestly acknowledge your questions and your concerns, but first and forever fan the flame of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe.”

“In this world, everyone is to walk by faith.”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland 
2013 April General Conference “Lord, I Believe”

The Laborers in the Vineyard


“The formula of faith is to hold on, work on, see it through, and let the distress of earlier hours--real or imagined--fall away in the abundance of the final reward.”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland 
2012 April General Conference “The Laborers in the Vineyard”

Come Boldly

“There is no problem which you cannot overcome. There is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized. Even if you feel you are the lost and last laborer of the eleventh hour, the Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning. 'Come boldly [to] the throne of grace,' and fall at the feet of the Holy One of Israel. Come and feast 'without money and without price' at the table of the Lord.”

Because She Is a Mother

“Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And “press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.” 11 You are doing God’s work. You are doing it wonderfully well. He is blessing you and He will bless you, even—no, especially—when your days and your nights may be the most challenging. Like the woman who anonymously, meekly, perhaps even with hesitation and some embarrassment, fought her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of the Master’s garment, so Christ will say to the women who worry and wonder and sometimes weep over their responsibility as mothers, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” 12 And it will make your children whole as well.”

“Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.”
