You may sometimes be tempted to say, โWill my influence make any difference? I am just one. Will my service affect the work that dramatically?โ I testify to you that it will. You will never be able to measure your influence for good.
Thomas S. MonsonCourage is required to make an initial thrust towards ones coveted goal, But even greater courage is called for when one stumbles and must make a second effort to achieve.
Thomas S. MonsonThe needs of others are ever present, and each of us can do something to help someone.... Unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives.
Thomas S. MonsonNoah heeded Godโs command to build an arkโฆthat they might be saved from the floodwaters. Yet there was no evidence of rain and flood. His actions were considered irrational. The sun was shining and life moved forward as usual. But time ran out. The floods came, the disobedient were drowned. When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.
