Prophets Warn, Teach and Encourage

Jeffrey R. Holland to the Youth

Speaking to the youth of the church, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, a member of the Quorum of The Twelve Apostles  said,  “We who have already walked that portion of life’s path that you are now on try to call back to you something of what we have learned.  We shout encouragement.  We try to warn of pitfalls or perils along the way.  Where possible we try to walk with you and keep you close to our side” (Ensign, May 1995, 38).

I love this quote.  It is exactly the message that all the prophets through all dispensations of time have tried to get across to us – that they’ve been there, they know, they can help if we just read their words and follow their counsel.
