SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 58:3-4
"Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation. For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Lorenzo Snow
"I feel, my brethren and sisters, to exhort you with heartfelt expression. Be of good cheer---be not disheartened; for assuredly the day rapidly comes when your tears shall be dried, your hearts comforted, and you shall eat of the products of your labours. . . .
"Be honest, be virtuous, be honourable, be meek and lowly, courageous and bold, cultivate simplicity, be like the Lord; hold to the truth though through fire or sword, torture or death" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 113). |
