Promptings for us to do good come from the Holy Ghost. These promptings nudge us further along the straight and narrow path of discipleship. The natural man doesn't automatically think of doing good. It isn't natural. How many people worry about the car behind them or the person below them? The natural man just doesn't do it. For us, however, these promptings enlarge our awareness of other people's needs and then prod us to act accordingly.
Neal A. MaxwellA friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if itโs fair, it isnโt a trial.
Neal A. MaxwellPatience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is bestโbetter than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable.
Neal A. MaxwellEvery dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
