Hey! That’s not Japanese!

I’m sure many of you are setting aside time today to write down your resolutions for the coming year. May I make a few suggestions?

First, resolve to strengthen your spiritual foundation. This may involve setting a specific time and place to study the scriptures, praying more often, making temple worship a bigger priority, and letting God prevail in all aspects of your life.

Second, resolve to be kind to others. When the Savior Jesus Christ visited the Americas, as recorded in the Book of Mormon, one of the first things He taught was the need to eliminate contention in our lives. So, please be compassionate, be understanding, be slow to judge, and be quick to forgive.

Third, resolve to be resolute. The Lord loves effort. The Lord loves consistency. The Lord loves steadfastness. While we surely will come up short from time to time, our persistent efforts to hear Him and follow the inspiration He gives us will help us to “wax strong in the Spirit” (Mosiah 18:26).

May God bless you, my dear friends, and may this be a wonderful year of purpose and possibilities for all of us.

Tis the season…

Merry Christmas Eve

Concerning the coming of the Messiah to the world, Isaiah, the Old Testament Prophet, joyously proclaimed:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

I add my testimony to the testimony of this ancient prophet who, centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ, proclaimed the event that would change the course of all human history. Jesus Christ is in fact the infant born in Bethlehem; He is truly the Savior and Redeemer of the world.

While we read the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, we find the true meaning of Christmas in the gospel of John. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

The first and greatest gift of Christmas was neither gold, nor frankincense, nor myrrh. It was the willing gift from a loving Heavenly Father of His Beloved, Only Begotten Son.

On that first Silent Night, I can only imagine the holy mixture of emotions that our Heavenly Father must have experienced, watching from heaven as His Beloved Son entered a fallen world in the lowliest and most indigent of circumstances.

God is not devoid of emotions. He looks after us with all the tender feeling of a loving parent. I imagine the joy He felt in knowing that this precious infant would eventually win a glorious triumph over sin and death—throwing open the doors of heavenly possibilities so that you and I could someday live again with our loved ones.

But I also believe His joy was tempered by the perfect knowledge of what awaited His Beloved Son. In a few short years from that holy night, this same Son would suffer as none had ever, nor could ever, suffer.

But because our Heavenly Father loves us so much, He allowed these joyful and painful events to take their proper course. Because the world needed saving, and because you and I need saving, He sent us a Savior.

This Christmas, let us accept God’s perfect and precious gift. Let us cast our burdens and sins at the Savior’s feet and experience the joy that comes from repentance and change. Let us follow Jesus Christ and emulate His life as we celebrate His birth.

I wish you, my dear friends, a very merry Christmas.

Christmas has always been a special time for me. A time for loving. A time for giving. A time for remembering.

I remember the rich, centuries-old traditions of Czechoslovakia that awed me as a very young child. I remember the candle-lit Christmas trees, the handmade gifts, the smell of festive preparation. I remember the beautiful carols and majestic organ music that brightened the dark streets of Zwickau in East Germany. I also remember the humble attic our family crowded into after we had fled for a second time from perilous situations and started a new life in West Germany after World War II.

As I look back with heartache and joy, perhaps what I remember most about Christmastime is the love my family had for each other, how we loved and accepted the restored Church of Jesus Christ, and how we loved the Savior.

There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, to follow such examples and rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. It is always the right time to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and our neighbors as ourselves.

As we make the Savior and His supernal gift to us the center of our life this Christmas season and always, we will declare to the world with joy and solemnity that the life of Christ “neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary.”

All who accept His loving gift will never hunger or thirst. They will find rest for their souls and rejoice with all their heart and soul that “the Lord is come.”

This Christmas season and throughout the year, may we receive and give the greatest gifts of Christmas.

Fred Astaire was an iconic actor, dancer, and singer of American cinema. He starred in dozens of Broadway and Hollywood shows. One of his early auditions was evaluated with these words: “Can’t act. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.”

Hardly a glowing report!

Through persistence and hard work, he developed his abilities until he became one of the greatest performers of all time—known for his “elegance, grace, originality, and precision.”

He wasn’t the only one who struggled with self-doubt or endured criticism.

Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.”

Vincent Van Gogh sold only a very few paintings during his lifetime—many of them to family and close friends.

Ernest Hemingway once received a rejection notice from an editor who found his writing “both tedious and offensive,” claiming, “My young son could do better!”

Perhaps we all see ourselves as a little less than we are. Unworthy. Untalented. Nothing special. Lacking the heart, mind, resources, charisma, or stature to be of much use to God.

You say you’re not perfect? You’re not good enough? Welcome to the club!

You may be just the person God is looking for.

God doesn’t need you to be exceptional, let alone perfect.

He will take your talents and abilities and multiply them—even though they may seem as scarce as a few loaves and fishes. If you trust Him and are faithful, He will magnify your words and actions and use them to bless and minister to multitudes!
