I know that God loves us. He allows us to exercise our moral agency even when we misuse it. He permits us to make our own decisions. Christ cannot help us if we do not trust Him; He cannot teach us if we do not serve Him. He will not force us to do what's right, but He will show us the way only when we decide to serve Him. Certainly, for us to serve in His kingdom, Christ requires that we experience a change of thought and attitude.

Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required.

Love thy neighbor is more than a divine truth. It is a pattern for perfection.

Who the Lord calls, the Lord will qualify.

He who gives money gives some, he who gives time gives more, and he who gives of himself gives all.

I testify that each one of us can feel the Lord's inspiration as we live worthily and strive to serve Him.

There will be occasions in each of our lives when we will be called upon to explain or to defend our beliefs. When the time for performance arrives, the time for preparation is past.
