One simply cannot come to a cause like the kingdom of God, with its celestial concepts, and not appreciate and identify with what Ammon said 'Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.'
More Quotes from Neal A. Maxwell:
When we dont like to face up to hard facts, we use soft words. We do not speak about killing a baby within the womb, but about 'termination of potential life.' Words are often multiplied to try to cover dark deeds.Neal A. Maxwell
God does not begin by asking our ability, only our availability, and if we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability.
Neal A. Maxwell
By seeing lifes experiences through to the end, on our small scale, we can finally say, as Jesus did on the cross, 'It is finished.' We, too, can then have 'finished our preparations,' having done the particular work God has given each of us to do. However, our tiny cup cannot be taken from us either. For this reason have we come unto the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Some mistakenly misread the mercy and graciousness of God. For instance, some partial believers are always scolding God, or disregarding Him, because of the observable and lamentable consequences of our misuse of God's gift to us of moral agency. It is as if a teenage son, given his first car, promptly had an accident with resulting pain, suffering, and expense, and the errant son then railed at his father for permitting the suffering resulting from the son's misuse of the gift of the automobile. Granted, in defense of the analogy, mortal parents ought not to give youngsters automobiles too soon, and then only when they have provided wise counsel, driver training, and so on. But there still comes a time when, if they are ever to drive alone, trained teenagers must be left alone at the wheel. The principle is the same with us in the second estate.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is better to trust and sometimes be disappointed than to be forever mistrusting and be right occasionally.
Neal A. Maxwell
