“Let Us Nourish It with Great Care”

Bryan Richards

Joseph B. Wirthlin

“To soundly plant good seeds in one’s heart requires prolonged, intense, unremitting pondering. It is a deep, ongoing, regenerating process that refines the soul.” (Finding Peace in Our Lives, p. 212)

Henry B. Eyring

"It‘s not hard to see from these examples what you can do to touch someone’s life with faith…It won’t be enough for them simply to listen to the word of God. They must choose to keep commandments because they feel at least a beginning desire to know the will of our Heavenly Father and submit to it. That feeling of surrender is not likely to come unless they experience some feeling of being loved and some value in their being meek and lowly of heart.
"You can help with your example. If you love them because you feel God’s love for them, they will feel that. If you are meek and humble because you feel your dependence on God, they will sense that, too.
“In addition to your example, you can teach the word of God to them in a way that is more likely to give them a desire to repent and to try to live it. They may think they have heard preaching enough. But they must do more than hear the word of God; they must plant it in their hearts by trying it. You can make that more likely if you talk with them about it in a way that helps them feel how much God loves them and how much they need God.” (To Draw Closer to God, p. 186-7)
