Power is most safe with those who are not in love with it!

How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!

Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.

Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.

Those who do too much for their children will soon find they can do nothing with their children. So many children have been so much done for they are almost done in.

Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.

The Lord has said, ‘I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.’ (Isaiah 48:10, 1 Nephi 20:10). He knows, being omniscient, how we will cope with affliction beforehand. But we do not know this. We need, therefore, the refining that God gives to us, though we do not seek or crave such tribulation.
