Faith

"What was once a tiny seed of belief for me has grown into the tree of life, so if your faith is a little tested in this or any season, I invite you to lean on mine."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 95)

Faith

"Belief was always the first step toward conviction."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"Belief is a precious word, an even more precious act."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"So be kind regarding human frailty--your own as well as that of those who serve with you in the Church led by volunteer, mortal men and women.  Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with.  That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it.  So should we.  And when you see imperfection, remember that the limitation is not in the divinity of the work."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"In the Church, what we know will always trump what we do not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"Brothers and sisters, this is a divine work in process, with the manifestations and blessings of it abounding in every direction, so please don't hyperventilate if from time to time issues arise that need to be examined, understood, and resolved.  They do and they will."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"Be as candid about your questions as you need to be; life is full of them on one subject or another.  But if you and your family want to be healed, don't let those questions stand in the way of faith working its miracles."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"I am not asking you to pretend to faith you do not have.  I am asking you to be true to the faith you do have.  Sometimes we act as if an honest declaration of doubt is a higher manifestation of moral courage than is an honest declaration of faith.  It is not!"

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"Hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"...the father asserts his strength first and only then acknowledges his limitation.  His initial declaration is affirmative and without hesitation: "Lord, I believe." I would say to all who wish for more faith, remember this man!  In moments of fear or doubt or troubling times, hold the ground you have already won, even if that ground is limited."

-Jeffrey R. Holland (Ensign, May 2013, 94)

Faith

"The size of your faith or the degree of your knowledge is not the issue--it is the integrity you demonstrate towards the faith you do have and the truth you already know."
