The healing power of charity, bestowed by our Father and made possible by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, can make it virtually impossible for us even to feel emotions common to the natural man.

The Lord has set no limits on what He is willing to teach us and give us. We are the only ones who set limits--through our neglect our disobedience or ignorance. We are in large measure the ones who determine what we will learn and experience in mortality, and what we will receive eternally.

Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?

We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.

True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.

I drove a tractor almost as soon as I could reach the pedals.

Thus, when we plead for the gift of charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or someone who has injured or wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed, for our character and disposition to become more and more like the Savior's, so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do.
