"Change requires humility, effort, and persistence. But I promise you that it is worth it—it is always worth being quick to observe."
God's promise that we may always have His Spirit to be with us is also a challenge. It's not automatic. It requires effort, consistency, and faith.

"Our greatest legacy is not what we leave behind in terms of material possessions or worldly things, but what we help others become.

BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Elder Bun Huoch Eng | April 8, 2025
"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."

"Sometimes God’s hand might be revealed in a miraculous way, like it was for Moses and the Israelites; other times it may be seen in a more quiet, seemingly insignificant way. Yet we can always trust that He will help us to get through the difficult times in our lives."

"Life is a test, and, God understands that. But it is also a process and He understands that too. We are meant to learn from our mistakes and we all make mistakes. That is why, in great love for us, He sent his Only Begotten Son to earth to teach us, to show us how to live, to experience mortality so His compassion for our challenges and difficulties is complete. He sent His Son to atone for our sins. Knowing of the great love of God, our Heavenly Father, and His Son Jesus Christ knowing they have this love for us is not an excuse to make excuses for our own mistakes. It is a reason to try harder with all our heart, might, mind and strength to follow our Savior, to be the people He knows we can become. To love as He loves. To be a force for good in the world."

"Like any other relationship in life, we come to understand the nature of God and establish a foundation of trust by spending time with and having experiences with Him. This is the purpose of covenants. As we make commitments to God and, in turn, allow Him to prove His faithfulness in keeping His commitments to us, we find that He does not let us down. Instead, He shows up again and again."

"Our righteousness is a shield in this wicked world. The more righteous we are, the less powerful the enemy is. May the Lord bless you with the strength and power that comes from truly knowing who you are, and by reminding you that as His covenant daughter or son, you can call upon Him and be blessed through His power at any time and any place, in any circumstance. May He bless you to remember that fear comes from the enemy, and sometimes logical thinking leaves no room for miracles."

"Instead of fear, use that spirit of love to love yourself, even in your weaknesses. Use the spirit of a sound mind to view your shortcomings candidly and use them as an opportunity to learn and make adjustments. Then, use the spirit of power to try again and again and again. That is the path to excellence!"

"...Heavenly Father will provide you with personal experiences to help you learn and grow in your own unique way. He knows you individually and loves you unconditionally. Trust in Him, have the courage to follow His will, and trust in your own abilities. Be okay with making mistakes; they are an opportunity for self-discovery and growth.
I invite you to reflect on how you can more fully trust in God’s plan. Is there a challenge you can approach with greater faith? Is there a habit you can improve to strengthen your relationship with Christ? As you take even small steps forward, He will magnify your efforts."
