A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
Neal A. MaxwellNaive optimism and pervasive pessimism are both to be avoided, therefore. It's not an easy balance to maintain, to be asked to work away in the Ninevehs of our lives without being so conscious of the coming cataclysm that we are not serious citizens of our communities and nations. By living and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are doing the most relevant thing we can do by way of helping. (There are civic and other chores to be done, of course.) Day in and day out, the gospel is the one thing that is most relevant, and we are to be of good cheer.
Neal A. MaxwellThe acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
