To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.
Boyd K. PackerThose who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
Boyd K. PackerA testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.
Boyd K. PackerYou cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you; it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.
Boyd K. Packer
