"Well, Christ's love can be tough. What is he trying to do with us? In
his best-seller, The Road Less Traveled (New York: Simon and Schuster,
1978), Dr. M. Scott Peck said that no matter how much we may pussyfoot
around it, all who ask the question 'What is God's love leading to?'
come to a single terrifying conclusion: God wants us to become like
himself. We are being prepared for godhood, and it hurts; it hurts
abominably, but there is peace." — John

"Also, we need to use more fully the gifts of the Spirit, all of which
operate through faith. These gifts are available to us today. Even the
ultimate power--to raise the dead--is occasionally exercised by those
of great faith. The sick are healed, the blind see, the lame walk, and
evil spirits are cast out--all through faith and priesthood power in
combination. I feel we do not enjoy enough spiritual gifts in our
priesthood callings." — John K.

"Moroni taught the great principle that the Lord has allowed all of us
to have weaknesses, but he added that the Lord will show us our
weaknesses if we humble ourselves and come to Him. Then he added the
crowning thought that those weaknesses can become our strengths as we
overcome them. (See Ether
12:27.) This is true of low self-esteem. With the Lord's help we
can overcome that serious impediment." - John

"My
testimony is built on the firm convictions that the Book of Mormon is
true and Jesus is our Savior. This spiritual foundation has helped me
weather the storms of challenge and doubt. I started reading the Book
of Mormon in my youth and have continued, learning and drinking its
spirit with every study." - John

"Perhaps it is
time that we humble ourselves and overcome the obstacles to faith, and
then become converted as Peter did. Why go through life with two
candlepower when more than four hundred watts are available? The tasks
are so great! How can we possibly take the gospel to all the world and
redeem the dead at the same time? I don't know, but the power and energy
to do so must and will come by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ." - John

May I suggest to all of the Church, and
particularly to you young people and you missionaries throughout the
world, don’t neglect those early morning prayers to our Heavenly Father.
Through those prayers, you reach him, and through that, you can have
peace.
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling
of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin.” (Heb.
4:15.) -
