The Nature of God
Devotional Talk by Dean Andersen | February 4, 2025
"I would submit to you, my young friends, that it is worth the time and our greatest efforts to work to qualify for all the richest blessings that God has in store for us. Don’t short-change yourself by choosing an easier path. The greatest blessings are reserved for those that are willing to work through hard challenges and do hard things. If we shy away from work, we limit God’s ability to bless us. As Sister Andersen beautifully explained, work is a key part of God’s plan and is a blessing, as well as being a prerequisite to all the greatest blessings God desires to give us."
