"Faith can become the very wellspring of purposeful living. There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, that God expects us to do something with our lives, and that He will give us help when help is sought. …
"When I discuss faith, I do not mean it in an abstract sense. I mean it as a living, vital force that comes with recognition of God as our Father and Jesus Christ as our Savior. …
"Faith in a Divine Being, in the Almighty, is the great moving power that can change our lives." Gordon B. Hinckley

In one of our first meetings with missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Joe told the missionaries he admired their faith. He commented, "When they were "handing out faith in heaven, I must have been skylarking and didn't get in the right line to get faith." The missionaries explained that faith is something we can develop.
Faith in Jesus Christ and His gospel has changed our lives. It's made the good times better and provides us perspective, purpose, strength, and hope during the difficult times. Faith in Jesus Christ has made all the difference.
