"Those who do not marry or those who cannot have children are not
excluded from the eternal blessings they seek but which, for now, remain beyond
their reach. We do not always know how or when blessings will present
themselves, but the promise of eternal increase will not be denied any faithful
individual who makes and keeps sacred covenants.
"Your secret yearnings and tearful pleadings will touch the heart
of both the Father and the Son. You will be given a personal assurance from
Them that your life will be full and that no blessing that is essential will be
lost to you.
"As a servant of the Lord, acting in the office to which I have
been ordained, I give those in such circumstances a promise that there will be
nothing essential to your salvation and exaltation that shall not in due time
rest upon you. Arms now empty will be filled, and hearts now hurting from
broken dreams and yearning will be healed."
~ Elder Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
