Thomas S. Monson
…Faith forged in the furnace of trials and tears is marked by trust and testimony. Only God can count the sacrifice only God can measure the sorrow only God can know the hearts of those who serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
There is no finer way to demonstrate love of God than by serving Him in the positions to which we may be called. Occasionally, the reward for that service will be prompt, and we'll see the light in the eyes of the person whom we have helped. Other times, however, the Lord will let us wait a little while and let our reward come another way.
Thomas S. Monson
