"After Much Tribulation … Cometh the Blessing"
We become examples of the believers by living the gospel of Jesus Christ...As we do so, our lights will shine for others to see.
Each of us came to earth having been given the Light of Christ. As we follow the example of the Savior and live as He lived and as He taught, that light will burn within us and will light the way for others…our opportunities to shine surround us each day, in whatever circumstance we find ourselves.
- President Thomas S. Monson, Be an Example and a Light
Shine Your Light So Others May See
Faith is strong when it has deep roots in personal experience, personal commitment to Jesus Christ, independent of what our traditions are or what others may say or do. Our testimony will be tested and tried. Faith is not faith if never tested. Faith is not strong if never opposed. So don’t despair if you have trials of faith or unanswered questions...Faith is beautiful because it persists even when blessings don’t come as hoped for.

Why Must a Trial of Faith Precede a Witness of Truth? (Knowhy #246)
Faith and character are intimately related. Faith in the power of obedience to the commandments of God will forge strength of character available to you in times of urgent need...Your exercise of faith in true principles builds character; fortified character expands your capacity to exercise more faith. As a result, your capacity and confidence to conquer the trials of life are enhanced...Your faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His commandments will strengthen your character.

In the Church, stewardship is not limited to a temporal trust or responsibility…We are accountable as stewards over earthly blessings, which the Lord has provided… My heart rejoices as I observe the Saints all over the Church doing everything they can to provide Christlike service wherever there is a need. Because of member contributions, the Church can quietly and quickly, without fanfare, respond to needs all over the world.

“Zion cannot be built up,” the Lord said, “unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom.” The covenant of consecration is central to this law. We shall one day apply it in its fulness. This covenant embraces the “giving of one’s time, talents, and means to care for those in need—whether spiritually or temporally—and in building the Lord’s kingdom.” These principles of love, work, self-reliance, and consecration are God given.

The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers… Contention drives away the Spirit—every time. Contention reinforces the false notion that confrontation is the way to resolve differences; but it never is. Contention is a choice. Peacemaking is a choice. You have your agency to choose contention or reconciliation. I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.
