As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.

Image
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.

Image
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
