"To Draw Closer to God"
by Henry B. Eyring
"'We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.' (Romans 8:28.)'"
"A choice to be good--even with the trials that come--will allow the Atonement to change your heart."
"'Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.' (Mosiah 5:2)"
"'Charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.' (Moroni 7:47-48.)"
"You can make the choice to be good early. You can use the Savior as your standard for goodness. And you can stay with it...'Attaining a righteous and virtuous life is within the capability of any one of us if we will earnestly seek for it. If we do not have these character traits, the Lord has told us that we should 'ask, and ye shall receive, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.'' (President Benson, D&C 4:7.)"
"God will bless us to be like His Son when we make an earnest effort."
