“I Give Not Because I Have Not but If I Had I Would Give”

K. Douglas Bassett

D&C 56:17

“[Those] who have been denied blessings … in this life—who say in their heart, ‘If I could have done, I would have done, or I would give if I had, but I cannot for I have not’—the Lord will bless you as though you had done, and the world to come will compensate for those who desire in their hearts the righteous blessings that they were not able to have because of no fault of their own.” (Harold B. Lee, Ye Are The Light of the World, p. 298)
