"For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what think and do. What we think and do determines who we are-and who we will become."
"God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn't care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous of forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, God loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely."
"We are important to God not because of our resume but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked....[R]egardless of our current state, there is hope for us...our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."
(Nov 2009 Ensign, Pres. Uchtdorf, 22-23)
