With the power of God, we will not be persuaded to retreat from a good thing. As we remember and recognize His power, we will not be fooled by counterfeits.

Whether we feel loved or unloved, we can show God's love to those around us because He loves us. When we love Him, we are better able to love as He does.

As we familiarize ourselves with the Old Testament, we can be more prepared to recognize the hand of God in these latter days, and we will be better equipped to see as His prophecies are fulfilled.

We are each on a journey home to our Heavenly Father, who is longing for our safe return. We can make it safely home if we stay connected to the one reliable source of guidance: Jesus Christ.

In the English language, the word “goodbye” comes from the phrase “God be with ye.” May God be with you as we part.

Because of Christ, dreams of peace and healing can become reality. Because of His infinite atonement, we can each have our vision cleared; have our ears opened; be made whole, clean, and pure; and rise victorious over the grave.

At Easter, we focus on the Savior's death and resurrection. But at Christmas, the world remembers His life.

The Savior suffered for us. He atoned for all our sins, if we will but come to Him and repent. This is the gift we celebrate at Christmas.

In the northern hemisphere, today is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. However, the light of Christ is always shining, even when it feels distant. As we seek the Savior, we will find the light and hope we so desperately need in a dark world.

The Lord will warn and forewarn us against the challenges of our day. The Family: A Proclamation to the World is one such warning.

Because of Christ, our entire beings can rejoice. We should proclaim the good news to all mankind. Christ died to save us all, if we will but repent and come unto Him.

The Church of Jesus Christ is a living church. Prophets, seers, and revelators lead the church according the Lord's directions. Policy and procedure may change, but the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ is constant.

Christ is “the light and the life of the world” (3 Nephi 9:18). We learn that we should look to His light as an example (3 Nephi 18:16) and that His work is the light we should hold up in our own lives to share with those around us (3 Nephi 18:24). We can also share this light with our ancestors through proxy temple work.

This Christmas, let us remember the example and teachings of our Savior and do what we can to serve and help our brothers and sisters.

When we have the Christmas spirit, we remember the Savior, whose birth we commemorate on December 25. We remember the tidings of great joy, the spirit of giving, the spirit of obedience, the spirit of gratitude, and the gift of love.

This Christmas season, let us remember "The Nativity Song" and put in the effort needed to draw spiritually closer to the Savior.

The annual First Presidency Christmas Devotional can help us start the month off with the true spirit of Christmas. By remembering the Babe of Bethlehem, the prophecies He fulfilled, and the gift of His life and His sacrifice, we can keep the true spirit of Christmas in our hearts.

Time is limited, and we fill it so quickly. This Christmas season, let us fill our lives with Christ, rather than with worldly things of less importance.

The wise men followed the star of Bethlehem, which they saw in the east, to find the Savior. Similarly, as we follow the light of Christ, we can find Him in our own lives.

When we record our experiences and recognize the Lord's hand in our lives, we strengthen our testimonies of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

The Lord has commanded us to be grateful because it soothes our feelings and gives us a greater perspective on life. Gratitude is a kind of remedy for the many spiritual woes and maladies we face.

Gratitude heals our souls and brings us joy. As we learn to be grateful in any circumstance, we can be filled with this healing and joy.

The work of God cannot be stopped by death, the adversary, or the works of men. The keys and authority of God cannot be taken away from His chosen prophets by wicked conspiracies.

The eleventh Article of Faith declares: “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.” If we expect to maintain this freedom, we must defend it, both for the religion we practice and for the religions of others.

When marriage is performed with the Lord's sealing power, it can last beyond the grave and into eternity. As we put intentional work into our marriages and families, they will be enriched.

Sharing testimony through song is one way to praise the Lord. This has been done throughout the history of the world, from David's psalms to Emma collecting hymns for the restored Church of Jesus Christ. As we offer songs of praise to the Lord, He will answer us with blessings (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12).

The Lord loves us perfectly, even when we feel lost and misunderstood. He has a depth of understanding and love that no one else has, and He wants us to succeed.

Peace does not come from worldly things but from heavenly things. If we are to find peace in our personal lives, we must go to its source: the Prince of Peace.

Even after we have faced judgement and rejection, the Lord invites us to share His gospel and welcome others in.

Forgiveness is a process, and it requires hard work. Jesus Christ is instrumental to our healing, and through Him, we can find forgiveness and peace.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is sequential and iterative. As we ascend the path to eternal life, we circle back to the same doctrines and principles. However, as we engage in the doctrine of Christ, we also gain greater knowledge and understanding.

In spite of obstacles in our path, the Lord offers to lead us with His sight and His vision. Through His Atonement and His way, we can find joy and light in spite of the difficulties and darkness we face.

The Savior, who has descended below all things, can lift us up when we turn to Him. As we repent and come unto Him with full purpose of heart, with broken hearts and contrite spirits, He can make us whole.
