Being Single

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 138:51-52

"These the Lord taught, and gave them power to come forth, after his resurrection from the dead, to enter into his Father's kingdom, there to be crowned with immortality and eternal life, and continue thenceforth their labor as had been promised by the Lord, and be partakers of all blessings which were held in reserve for them that love him."

 
Gordon B. Hinckley
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Gordon B. Hinckley

"Somehow we have put a badge on a very important group in the Church. It reads 'Singles.' I wish we would not do that. You are individuals, men and women, sons and daughters of God, not a mass of 'look-alikes' or 'do-alikes.' Because you do not happen to be married does not make you essentially different from others. All of us are very much alike in appearance and emotional responses, in our capacity to think, to reason, to be miserable, to be happy, to love and be loved.

"You are just as important as any others in the scheme of our Father in Heaven, and under His mercy no blessing to which you otherwise might be entitled will forever be withheld from you" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 159).

Lord, Wilt Thou Cause That My Eyes May Be Opened


Library: His Return: Chapter 3: The Persecution of the Saints

"This Church has before it many close places through which you will have to pass, before the work of God is crowned with victory.
