Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father's perfect happiness. Creating and being compassionate are two activities that we as His spirit children can and should emulate...Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty...What you create doesn't have to be perfect. Don't let fear of failure discourage you...Start small...The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create....When we reach out to bless the lives of others, our lives are blessed as well...As we lift others, we rise a little higher ourselves...I believe that as you immerse yourselves in the work of our Father--as you create beauty and as you are compassionate to others--God will encircle you in the arms of His love. Discouragement, inadequacy, and weariness will give way to a life of meaning, grace, and fulfillment.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage"
