So True!

"If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious.  Hell is moved only when things move heavenward."      -Neal A. Maxwell

The Beckoning of a Loving Father

Posted: 11 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT

"The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to 're-turn' toward God. It is the beckoning of a loving Father and His Only Begotten Son to be more than we are, to reach up to a higher way of life, to change, and to feel the happiness of keeping the commandments. Being disciples of Christ, we rejoice in the blessing of repenting and the joy of being forgiven. They become part of us, shaping the way we think and feel."

Neil L. Andersen, "Repent . . . That I May Heal You," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 40
