lds Integrity Quotes

  

—"We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.” [A of F 1:13]"

"....We have heard sermons and exhortations upon honesty, trust, righteousness, dependability, truthfulness, kindness, justice, mercy, love, fidelity, and many other principles of right living. When one has integrated all of these attributes within his being, when they become the moving force of all his thoughts, actions, and desires, then he may be said to possess integrity..."

"If we want to be a person of integrity, we act as if we have integrity and we will be a person of integrity. If we want to be a person of charity and love, we act as if we have that characteristic and we will be that person."

Royden G. Derrick

“Among the real heroines in the world who will come into the Church are women who are more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish. These real heroines have true humility, which places a higher value on integrity than on visibility. …"

By Sharon Eubank

“God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me." Job 27:5

Adversity

Adversity is part of our mortal life, we agreed to come to this world knowing this would be a provisionary period where we would be tried, we understood this would only be a short period of time compared to eternity. As we face these challenges and troubles we do so with the help of our Father in Heaven. We must remain faithful and obedient to his commandments, Heavenly Father will bless our lives that we may withstand and overcome the challenges that present themselves. Only through these trials we are to grow spiritually stronger, enduring to the end will bring us joy and exaltation.

Agency

Agency is a gift we have been given, we are free to choose for ourselves. We alone are responsible for the choices that we make and the benefits of consequences that we face when we choose right or wrong. We are free to choose to follow Heavenly Father or the devil. We chose to follow Heavenly Father when we were in heaven we chose to come to this world and be proven. By choosing to do right and to live the commandments we are continuing to choose to follow God’s plan. It is difficult to choose the right every single time, me must remember the blessings in store for the sons and daughters of Heavenly Father that are obedient, like peace and happiness.

“Richard L. Evans said in the film Man’s Search For Happiness: “Life offers you two precious gifts. One is time, the other, freedom of choice—the freedom to buy with your time what you will. You are free to exchange your allotment of time for thrills. You may trade it for base desires. You may invest it in greed. You may purchase with it vanity; you may spend your time in pursuit of material things. Yours is the freedom to choose. But these are not bargains, for in them you find no lasting satisfaction” L.
