Principles

I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately so I thought I would share it.

"The ability to stand by one's principles, to live with integrity and faith according to one's belief - that is what matters.  That devotion to true principle - in our individual lives, in our homes and families, and in all places that we meet and influence other people - that devotion is what God is ultimately requesting of us.  It requires commitment - whole souled, deeply held, eternally cherished commitment to the principles we know to be true in the commandments God has given.  If we will be true and faithful to the Lord's principles, then we will always be temple worthy, and the Lord and his holy temples will be the great symbols of our discipleship with him." (President Howard W. Hunter, Ensign, 2010, p. 39
