God does not have a list of favorites to which we must hope our names will someday be added. He does not limit “the chosen” to a restricted few. Rather, it is our hearts and our aspirations and our obedience which determine whether we are counted as one of God’s chosen. (Elder David A. Bednar, Ensign, May 2005)
“If you really want to be like the Lord – more than any
thing or any one else – you will remember that your adoration of Jesus is best
shown by your emulation of Him.” (President Russell M. Nelson, Ensign, May 1997)
