    Kelly R. Johnson October 2025

    The prophet Jacob taught that when we find ourselves in disharmony or misalignment with God, the only way we can achieve reconciliation is to “be reconciled unto [God] through the atonement of Christ.” We must realize that reconciliation is dependent on mercy, implying that Jesus Christ’s gracious act of atonement makes reconciliation possible.

    Tracy Y. Browning October 2022

    James W. McConkie III October 2022

    We often felt like the “[short] of stature” Zacchaeus running to climb a sycamore tree as Jesus passed through Jericho because, as Luke described it, we “sought to see Jesus who he was.” It was not Jesus as we wanted or wished Him to be, but rather Jesus as He really was and is.

  20. Are You Still Willing? Are You Still Willing?

  22. Our Relationship with God Our Relationship with God

    D. Todd Christofferson April 2022

    It truly is folly for us with our mortal myopia to presume to judge God, to think, for example, “I’m not happy, so God must be doing something wrong.” To us, His mortal children in a fallen world, who know so little of past, present, and future, He declares, “All things are present with me, for I know them all.” Jacob wisely cautions: “Seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand.

    Russell M. Nelson October 2021

  27. Infuriating Unfairness Infuriating Unfairness

    Dale G. Renlund April 2021

    In unfair situations, one of our tasks is to trust that “all that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ overcame the world and “absorbed” all unfairness.

    Jacob 2:17 reads, “Think of your [brothers and sisters] like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you.” Let’s replace the word substance with mercy—be free with your mercy that they may be rich like unto you.

    Craig A. Cardon October 2006

    James E. Faust April 2003

    In “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” we read, “The sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.” Furthermore, the Lord says in the Book of Mormon, “I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women.” Those who engage in physical intimacies with someone outside of marriage are likely to suffer feelings of guilt as well as deep emotional and physical hurt.

  103. Encircled in the Arms of His Love Encircled in the Arms of His Love

    I share the reluctance Jacob expressed when he wrote of the problems of unchastity and infidelity, the breaching of what some number as the seventh commandment.

  108. “The Touch of the Master’s Hand” “The Touch of the Master’s Hand”

    Boyd K. Packer April 2001
