Today there are some
who would have us believe our search for relevance can be satisfied
only by obtaining position and power. Yet, thankfully, there are many
who are uninfluenced by this perspective. They find relevance in
seeking to be truly good and without guile. I have found them in all
walks of life and in many faith traditions. And I find them in large
numbers among the truly converted followers of Christ. - Michael
T. Ringwood, “Truly
Good and without Guile,” Ensign (CR) April 2015

We are blessed with others in the scriptures who teach us how we can
obtain an easiness and willingness to believe. Nephi, son of Lehi, is
one example. His first act when he heard his father teach about the
destruction of Jerusalem was to cry unto the Lord till his heart was
soft and he believed all the words spoken by his father (see 1
Nephi 2:16). The Lord spoke directly to Nephi, saying, “Blessed
art thou, Nephi, because of thy faith, for thou hast sought me
diligently, with lowliness of heart” (1
Nephi 2:19). Nephi teaches the importance of desire and
diligence in keeping commandments and calling upon God in order to
have the ability to say with ease, “I will go and do” (1
Nephi 3:7). – Michael T. Ringwood, “An
Easiness and Willingness to Believe,” Ensign (CR) November
