Image
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.

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.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
When we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God's timing, we really are suggesting that we know what's best. Strange isn't it-we who wear wrist watches seek to counsel Him who oversees cosmic clocks and calendars.

When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful.

The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade' they are not glad 'when others go wrong' they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.
Neal A. Maxwell

No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.

Image
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?
Neal A. Maxwell

The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
