The Desires of our Heart

"One of the most comforting passages in all of the scriptures for me is in the 137th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, verse 9, where we are told that the Lord will judge us according to our works and according to the desires of our hearts."
- Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Worldwide Leadership Training, 02/09/08

It is comforting to know that we will be blessed for our desire to do good. Now, that is not a pass for laziness, but an acknowledgment that no matter how hard we try, we might not be completely successful. The Lord is on our side. He knows us and loves us and the desires of our heart are known to him.

Happy day!
-Jeri
