Religion is a large part of my life. Today I came across a speech given by one of our church leaders titled "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders among You." The following paragraph ends with Jeffrey R. Holland using rhythm and repetition.
Now, with that majestic devotion ringing from heaven as the great constant in our lives, manifested most purely and perfectly in the life, death, and Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can escape the consequences of both sin and stupidity—our own or that of others—in whatever form they may come to us in the course of daily living. If we give our heart to God, if we love the Lord Jesus Christ, if we do the best we can to live the gospel, then tomorrow—and every other day—is ultimately going to be magnificent, even if we don’t always recognize it as such. Why? Because our Heavenly Father wants it to be! He wants to bless us. A rewarding, abundant, and eternal life is the very object of His merciful plan for His children! It is a plan predicated on the truth “that all things work together for good to them that love God.”10 So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever.
I believe he is a speaker who uses descriptive detail throughout his words, but this one in particular stands out because of its ending. This quote, because of its "catchiness" has gone viral. It is bold, simple to understand, and pulls in a reader or listener. That is the whole point of incorporating writing styles into your pieces. The mission is to gain focus and attention from the reader to let sink in the message you are trying to portray.
