A Choice Land


Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ.
-Ether 2:12

I marvel at the miracle of America, the land which the God of heaven long ago declared to be a land choice above all other lands.

I love America for her great and brawny strength, I love her for her generous heart. I love her for her tremendous spiritual strengths. She is unique among the nations of the earth-- in her discovery, in her birth has a nation, in the amalgamation of the races that come to her shores, in the strength of her government, in the goodness of her people.  God bless America, for she is His creation.
-Gordon B. Hinckley
