“Yes,
from time to time our lives may seem to be touched by, or even wrapped in,
darkness. Sometimes the night that surrounds us will appear oppressive,
disheartening, and frightening. My heart grieves for the many sorrows some of
you face, for the painful loneliness and wearisome fears you may be experiencing.
Nevertheless, I bear witness that our living hope is in Christ Jesus! He is the
true, pure, and powerful entrance to divine enlightenment.
I
testify that with Christ, darkness cannot succeed. Darkness will not gain
victory over the light of Christ. I bear witness that darkness cannot stand
before the brilliant light of the Son of the living God! I invite each of you
to open your heart to Him. Seek Him through study and prayer. Come to His
Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Learn of Him and
of His gospel, participate actively, help each other, and joyfully serve our
God. Brothers and sisters, even after the darkest night, the Savior of the
world will lead you to a gradual, sweet, and bright dawn that will assuredly
rise within you.”
President
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Hope of God’s Light”, April 2013 General Conference
