Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.
Neal A. Maxwell

Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!

For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, My body is my own! I stand in admiration of women today who resist the fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Patient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Looking for honest ways to lift one another would . . . be more beneficial to our own self-esteem, for we would see more good in ourselves. We would cease to be so critical of our weaknesses and would find ways to allow our weaknesses to become strengths with God's help.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Those few members who desert the cause are abandoning an oasis to search for water in the desert.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.

Oh, how great the plan of our God!
