"True conversion yields the fruit of enduring happiness that can be enjoyed even when the world is in turmoil and most are anything but happy."
How completely each person willingly embraces Christ's teachings determines the blessings each will harvest in life.
"To be converted, you must remember to apply diligently in your life the key words 'a love of God, with a fixed and controlling determination to keep his commandments.' Your happiness now and forever is conditioned on your degree of conversion and the transformation that it brings to your life. How then can you become truly converted?"
President Marion G. Romney said conversion is the fruit or the reward for repentance and obedience.
"Stated simply, true conversion is the fruit of faith, repentance, and consistent obedience. Faith comes by hearing the word of God and responding to it. You will receive from the Holy Ghost a confirming witness of things you accept on faith by willingly doing them. You will be led to repent of errors resulting from wrong things done or right things not done. As a consequence, your capacity to consistently obey will be strengthened. This cycle of faith, repentance, and consistent obedience will lead you to a greater conversion with its attendant blessings. True conversion will strengthen your capacity to do what you know you should do, when you should do it, regardless of the circumstances."
As you pray for guidance, the Holy Ghost will help identify the changes you need to make for full conversion.
