"To exercise our faith means that we will believe and hope in Christ, let God prevail and guide our paths, and trust in His timing. We will put off the natural man through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Exercising faith does not mean that once you believe in God you are immediately and always blessed. If so, everyone would believe, join the Church, and follow God’s commandments. But the Lord wants to see if we will exercise our faith in Him during our difficult times."

BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Charles Bradshaw | March 25, 2025

"The primary thing that strikes me about solving these problems of inharmonicity is that we need to focus first on our common testimonies of Jesus Christ as the gauge by which we determine what it means for us to 'be in tune.' If we are firm in that conviction, then it allows us to be more generous to our neighbors in their exercise of their faith, and it creates a profound sense of humility in us and helps us realize a more expansive role for Him in all of our testimonies rather than limiting Him only to our own experience. It is a sacred relationship that we rightly guard and personalize, but this can come with potential hazards if we don’t grant others the same privilege of personalizing their experience with the Savior. Once we allow ourselves to see Christ through the eyes of our fellow Saints, we get a much broader understanding of His role in our lives."
BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Elder Hans T Boom | March 18, 2025
"Live your life in such a way that you can hear Him."
