Desire

Neal-A-Maxwell-MormonDesire denotes a real longing or craving. Hence righteous desires are much more than passive preferences or fleeting feelings. Of course our genes, circumstances, and environments matter very much, and they shape us significantly. Yet there remains an inner zone in which we are sovereign, unless we abdicate. In this zone lies the essence of our individuality and our personal accountability. Therefore, what we insistently desire, over time, is what we will eventually become and what we will receive in eternity.”
– Neal A. Maxwell

Neal-A-Maxwell-Mormon“‘Righteous desires need to be relentless, therefore, because, said President Brigham Young, ‘the men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle every day’. Therefore, true Christian soldiers are more than weekend warriors.”
– Neal A. Maxwell
