by Elder M. Russell Ballard

“If we are determined to live by Heavenly Father’s plan, we will use our agency to make decisions based on revealed truth, not on the current thinking of the world. We will use the opportunities around us to help bring to pass his purposes. We will lift, inspire, and change hearts, to help make people better than they might have been.”

(M. Russell Ballard, “In the Language of Eternity,” New Era, Aug. 1996, 4-7)
