The bible contains 3,566,480 letters, 733,746 words, 31,163 verses, 1,189 chapters, and 66 books.  The Bible contains two testaments.  The Old is law.  The New is love.  The Old is the bud, the New is the bloom.  In the Old, man is reaching up for God.  In the New, God is reaching down for man.  In the Old, man is in the valley but can see the sun shining on the mountain tops.  In the New, he is on  the mountain top basking in the sunlight of God's infinite love.

 

"God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability!"

Neal A. Maxwell

 

Spiritual learning takes precedence. The secular without the foundation of the spiritual is . . . like the foam upon the milk, the fleeting shadow. . . One need not choose between the two

 

. . . for there is opportunity to get both simultaneously.

 

Spencer W. Kimball

 

“Even if you exercise your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you. He loves you to a depth and completeness you cannot conceive of in your mortal state. Indeed, were you to know His entire plan, you would never ask for that which is contrary to it even though your feelings tempt you to do so. Sincere faith gives understanding and strength to accept the will of our Heavenly Father when it differs from our own. We can accept His will with peace and assurance, confident that His infinite wisdom surpasses our own ability to comprehend fully His plan as it unfolds a piece at a time.”

 

Richard G. Scott

 

“The scriptures say that there must be ‘an opposition in all things.’ So it is with faith, hope, and charity. Doubt, despair, and failure to care for our fellowmen lead us into temptation, which can cause us to forfeit choice and precious blessings.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Clearly, one primary purpose of our existence upon the earth is to obtain a body of flesh and bones. We have also been given the gift of agency. In a thousand ways we are privileged to choose for ourselves. Here we learn from the hard taskmaster of experience. We discern between good and evil. We differentiate as to the bitter and the sweet. We discover that there are consequences attached to our actions.”

Thomas S. Monson

A wealthy father knew that if he were to bestow his wealth upon a child who had not yet developed the needed wisdom and stature, the inheritance would probably be wasted. The father said to his child:

“All that I have I desire to give you not only my wealth, but also my position and standing among men. That which I have I can easily give you, but that which I am you must obtain for yourself. You will qualify for your inheritance by learning what I have learned and by living as I have lived. I will give you the laws and principles by which I have acquired my wisdom and stature. Follow my example, mastering as I have mastered, and you will become as I am, and all that I have will be yours.”

Dallin H. Oaks
