I had a dear friend give me a book recently. She had so much wisdom in giving it to me at this time to get through some things I have been dealing with lately. So I must say it is such a good read to all. The book is by a woman named Tori Sorenson and the premise of the book is seeing yourself through the eyes of the Savior. Some of my favorite quotes are:

"We are so much more than our mistakes and flaws. We are children of God. Allow yourself to be defined by Christ and not by your own skewed thoughts and by the judgments of others."

"God's love is not something we can earn, no matter how hard we try or how high we run up the scoreboard. God's love is 'freely given' to all who will believe, come unto Christ, and endure."

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears and rejoicing and gratitude." -Joseph B Wirthlin

"Through repentance and the power of the Atonement, what was broken can be mended, but in some very practical ways, I think it can be made stronger than before."

"It does not matter what others think or say about you. Those things will hurt, your heart is tender. But now realize what matters is what God says."

Good quotes huh? I loved the book, and have found solice in scripture reading and this book lately. Thank you to my sweet friend for the gift.
