Stubborn selfishness leads otherwise good people to fight over herds, patches of sand, and strippings of milk. All this results from what the Lord calls coveting "the drop," while neglecting the "more weighty matters." (D&C 117:8) Myopic selfishness magnifies a mess of pottage and makes thirty pieces of silver look like a treasure trove. In our intense acquisitiveness, we forget Him who once said, "What is property unto me?"

As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt; the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.

The cavity which suffering carves into our souls will one day also be the receptacle of joy.

If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.

The Savior knows what it's like to die of cancer.

How can we truly understand who we are unless we know who we were and what we have the power to become?
