True service
An abiding faith, a constant trust, a fervent desire have always characterized those who serve the Lord with all their hearts. "Tears, Trials, Trust, Testimony," April 1987 general conference; Ensign, May 1987, 42
Seas of life
Like the vital rudder of a ship, we have been provided a way to determine the direction we travel. The lighthouse of the Lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life. Our home port is the celestial kingdom of God. Our purpose is to steer an undeviating course in that direction. A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder never likely to reach home port. To us comes the signal: Chart your course, set your sail, position your rudder, and proceed. "Sailing Safely the Seas of Life." April 1982 general conference; Ensign, May 1982, 59
