Neal A. Maxwell
Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.
Neal A. Maxwell
All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.
Neal A. Maxwell
How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
Neal A. Maxwell
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!
