Elder Holland does it again.

This is actually from a devotional earlier this year (Thanks Chani), but I was also blown away by his conference talk on the Book of Mormon!

"So, as a new year starts and we try
to benefit from a proper view of what has
gone before, I plead with you not to dwell
on days now gone, nor to yearn vainly for
yesterday however good those yesterdays
may have been. The past is to be learned
from but not lived in. We look back to
claim the embers from glowing
experiences but not the ashes.
And when
we have learned what we need to learn
and have brought with us the best that we
experienced, then we look ahead,

we remember that faith is always pointed
toward the future
‐‐ faith always has to do
with blessings and truths and events that
will yet be efficacious in our lives
."
Devotional address, BYU Provo, Jan. 2009
