The Lord needs women who will step forward in righteousness and say, 'Here am I, send me.'
M. Russell BallardAll the marvels of nature are glimpses of His divine power and expressions of His love.
M. Russell BallardA mother's nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experience in their premortal existence, Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us
M. Russell BallardThe love that exists between people who share religious values and experiences can be the most satisfying and unifying force this side of the solid, happy family.
M. Russell BallardAs disciples of Christ, we need to feel genuine charity for one another. As we do, new light will come into our own lives. This charity is essential in missionary work, but we must never allow ourselves to treat our neighbors only as potential converts. We have had the sad experience of seeing members of the Church who attempted to convert their neighbors and friends and, when they did not respond, withdrew their friendship and neighborliness. We must not be so anxious to share the gospel that we become insensitive to the feelings of others.
M. Russell Ballard
