We extend to every listener a cordial invitation to come to the
watered garden, to the shade of pleasant trees, to the
unchangeable truth. Come with us to sureness, security,
consistency. Here the cooling waters flow. The spring does not go
dry. Come listen to a prophet's voice and hear the word of God.
The Lord does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and
forever. His church stands firm and unchangeable. Sin will not be
tolerated, but sincere repentance will be rewarded with
forgiveness. - Spencer W. Kimball, "Voices
of
the Past, of the Present, of the Future," Ensign, June
1971, p. 19

There are many ways to draw near, seek, ask, and knock. If, for
example, your prayers offered to Heavenly Father in the name of
Christ have become a little casual, would you recommit yourself to
meaningful prayer, offered in unrushed solitude and with a
repentant heart? If you have not yet come to appreciate the peace
and the power of temple worship, would you partake of the
ordinances of the house of the Lord as often as your circumstances
allow? If you have not yet found that immersion in the scriptures
increases your sensitivity to the Spirit, would you consider
incorporating the word of God into your life more consistently?
Tonight would be a wonderful time to begin. - Sheri L. Dew, "Are
You the Woman I Think You Are?" Ensign, Nov. 1997, 92

Will we ever find a high mountain, a burning bush, and hear a
voice in our minds and in our hearts? Will God speak to us? Indeed
he will—he wants to. He is beckoning to each of us: 'Draw near
unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye
shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you' (D&C
88:63). Could there be a message more inviting, more
welcoming? He continues with an admonition accompanied by a
remarkable and soul-stirring promise: 'Therefore, sanctify
yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will
come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you,
and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according
to his own will' (D&C
88:68). This speaks to my heart as though it were a
welcome-home message. God is our Father. We are his children, and
one day we shall see him and be with him. - Ardeth Greene
Kapp, "Rejoice! His Promises Are Sure," p.12

We are bombarded on all sides by a vast number of messages we
don't want or need. More information is generated in a single day
than we can absorb in a lifetime. To fully enjoy life, all of us
must find our own breathing space and peace of mind. How can we do
this? There is only one answer. We must rise above the evil that
encroaches upon us. We must follow the counsel of the Lord, who
said, 'It is my will, that all they who call on my name, and
worship me according to mine everlasting gospel, should gather
together, and stand in holy places.' (D&C
101:22.) - James E. Faust, "Standing
in Holy Places," Ensign (CR), May 2005

If we had lived in the days of these prophets of old, would we
have believed on their words? Would we have had faith in the
coming of our Savior? - Robert D. Hales, "Finding
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ," Ensign (CR), November
2004, p.70

He did not limit or say “all who are perfect come unto me” or just
the rich, or just the poor, or just the healthy, or those without
sin, or those who pray the longest, or just the sick. His
invitation is to all: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” comfort, peace; “for my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
His plea to all is to love God, love His children, keep His
commandments, and believe that Jesus is the Christ, born of God.
(See 1 Jn.
5:1–3.) - David B. Haight, "People
to People," Ensign (CR) October 1981
