At family night this week, we read parts of a talk that Elder Scott gave at
BYU in 2011. Here is a part of that talk:
"The bedrock of character is integrity.
Worthy character will strengthen your capacity to recognize the
direction of the Spirit and be obedient to it.
Strong character is more important than what you own,
what you have learned, or what goals you have accomplished.
Your consistent exercise of faith builds strong character.
Wherever you live, whatever your occupation or focus in life,
you will be drawn into the battle for the souls of men and women.
Be valiant in that struggle. It is waged on the basis of character.
Satan and his troops have defined their character by resolute opposition to
the will of our Father and consistent violation of His commandments.
Your character is being solidified by consistent correct choices."
I want to have strong character and integrity. I want to live worthy of the Spirit and to be obedient to the promptings that I receive. I want to be defined as one who follows the Savior and strives to be like Him. I know that I am not perfect, but little by little, day by day, I am trying to make correct, consistent choices.
