Quote by Elder Neal A.
Maxwell a beloved servant of god, form his talk Consecrate Thy
Performance.
"When
Ananis and Sapphria sold their possessions, they" kept back part of the
price". so many of us cling tenaciously to a particular part even treating
our obsessions like possessions. Thus, whatever else we may have already given,
the last portion is hardest to yield. Granted partial surrender is still
commendable, but it resembles, more than faintly the excuses, "I gave at
the office".... Frankly, it is our prospective selves we betray by holding
back whatever the "part." no need to therefore ask, "Lord is it
I?" rather, let us inquire about our individual stumbling blocks,
"Lord is it this?" We may have known the answer for a long time and
may need resolve more than His response. The greatest happiness in God's
generous plan is finally reserved for those who are willing to stretch and to
pay the costs of journeying to his regal realm."
I felt like I have
finally reached to point in my mission where I can say I am not holding back.
there is not an inward struggle between what I want and what I know god wants
me to want. I simply desire it. it can be obtained through prayer and small
steady consistent goal setting. he wants us to turn to him. he wants to change
us. but HOW can a mechanic fix a car that you don’t take to his shop? We must
give him our heart to let him fully mend them. he can only do so much without
our consent. with us he can do everything. "with God NOTHING is
impossible." remember that with Christ it is possible to find peace amidst
trail, comfort among pain, and joy in the journey!!!
