“If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.”

“When Jesus tells us to give all we have...we don't have authority to decline. We are not our own; we have no claim on our own lives.”

“The Savior’s was a life of service. When we serve our neighbor, we help those who are in need. In the process we may find solutions to our own difficulties. As we emulate the Savior, we show our love to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and we become more like Them.”

“Not to abide in Jesus’ love would mean that we stop believing that we are loved by Jesus. We look at our circumstances - perhaps persecution or disease or abandonment - and we conclude that we are not loved by Jesus anymore. That’s the opposite of abiding in the love of Jesus. So abiding in his love means continuing to believe, moment by moment, that we are loved.”

“As soon as we abandon our reason and are content to rely on authority, there is no end to our troubles.”

“We men of business, who serve a House, are not our own masters. We have to think of the House more than ourselves”
