Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
availability asking doe
God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.
imperfection judgemental missionary
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
selfishness world way
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us; pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
selfishness heavy hardest
The hardest work you and I will ever do is to put off our selfishness. It is heavy lifting!
expression choices challenges
Time Management Tips: One can make a radar-like sweep of the horizon to identify time and task challenges while these are still manageable and while we still have a choice. The organizational adage, "the more parts, the more trouble," also applies to words. Multiplying words may actually multiply the probability of being misunderstood; economies in expression (without being taciturn or aloof) not only save time, but usually are more honest and more clear.
fever temperature burning
We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.
peer-pressure world ifs
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
surrender lord negotiation
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
assumption assuming should
We should not assume; however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
accomplished incomparable knows
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
unjust-criticism may ought
We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.
financial-goals people generosity
Although goal setting can clearly be overdone, only a few people are overly involved with goals and goal setting; most people do far too little goal setting, including the reflecting that precedes the setting of such goals. Too many marriages have financial goals but not other explicit goals. Yet the gospel is certainly goal-oriented.
generosity giving goal
Progress is measured by milestones. What many good people lack are markers that might tell them how they are actually doing. Goals can become a ritual or a fetish, but in the right measure they can give us some much needed reference points. No wonder some seem discouraged! Minus such milestones, we often feel minus in our lives
routine calling competencies
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
