Moses 2:27 We are made in the image of God. We look like Him

President Thomas S. Monson taught:
"God our Father has ears with which to hear our prayer. He has eyes with which to see our actions. He has a mouth with which to speak to us. He has a heart with which to feel compassion and love. He is real. He is living. We are His children, made in His image. We look like Him, and He looks like us". (I know that my Redeemer Lives, Ensign, April 1990, 6).

Moses 1:18. Resist Satan by remembering your spiritual experiences.

....Don’t panic and retreat. Don’t lose your confidence. Don’t forget how you once felt. Don’t distrust the experience you had. That tenacity is what saved Moses and Joseph Smith when the adversary confronted them, and it is what will save you.

…once there has been illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don’t give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. “Cast not away therefore your confidence.” Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.

“Fear ye not.” And when the second and third and fourth blows come, “fear ye not. … The Lord shall fight for you.”  Cast not away therefore your confidence.” (Elder Holland “Cast not away therefore Your Confidence”. Ensign, Mar. 2000)

Moses 1:4. We are children of our Heavenly Father.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf:

 “You are something divine—more beautiful and glorious than you can possibly imagine. This knowledge changes everything. It changes your present. It can change your future. And it can change the world. . . .

“Because of the revealed word of a merciful God, . . . you have felt the eternal glory of that divine spirit within you. You are no ordinary beings, my beloved young friends all around the world. You are glorious and eternal. . . .

“It is my prayer and blessing that when you look at your reflection, you will be able to see beyond imperfections and self-doubts and recognize who you truly are: glorious sons and daughters of the Almighty God” (“The Reflection in the Water” [Church Educational System fireside for young adults, Nov. 1, 2009]; LDS.org). 

Moses 1:35. God has worlds without number

Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained that “as the plan of salvation is executed and re-executed, again and again, in realms beyond our purview, His love is constant and personal” (“Wisdom and Order,” Ensign, June 1994, 43). Because God's “great and eternal plan” (2 Nephi 11:5) does not vary, the same plan that will exalt the inhabitants of this earth is implemented for the same purpose in all the worlds God has created. We learn from Doctrine and Covenants 76:23–24 that the inhabitants of numerous worlds “are begotten sons and daughters unto God” through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth under-scores the central role of Jesus Christ's infinite Atone-ment in God's plan for the salvation of our world as well as the many others created by His Only Begotten Son.

President Howard W Hunter. Importance of daily scripture study.

President Howard W Hunter Taught:

“It is certain that one who studies the scriptures every day accomplishes far more than one who devotes considerable time one day and then lets days go by before continuing”.  (“Reading the Scriptures” Ensign, Nov. 1979, 64)

Elder Richard G Scott: Scriptures can become friends.

Elder Richard G Scott Taught:

“The Scriptures can become stalwart friends that are not limited by geography or calendar. They  are always available when needed…. Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon anytime, anywhere in the world. Great Power can come from memorizing scriptures. To memorize a scripture is to forge a new friendship. It is like discovering a new individual who can help in time of need, give inspiration and comfort, and be a source of motivation for needed change”.  (The Power Of Scripture, “Ensign Nov. 2011, 6)

1 Kings 19:11-13. Holy speaks with a tender and kind voice

Elder Holland Taught

“Please know that your Father in Heaven loves you and so does His Only Begotten Son. When They speak to you – and They will – it will not be in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but it will be with a voice still and small, a voice tender and kind” (The Tonge of Angels”, Ensign May 2007,18)
