“It takes a courageous and willing heart to pause and pursue
honest and meek introspection to acknowledge the presence of weaknesses of the
flesh that may impede our ability to submit ourselves to God, and ultimately
decide to adopt His way rather than our own. The ultimate test of our
discipleship is found in our willingness to lose our old self and submit our
heart and our whole soul to God so that His will becomes ours. One of the most
glorious moments of mortality occurs when we discover the joy that comes when
doing always those things that ‘work for and please the Lord’ and ‘what works
for us’ become one and the same! To decisively and unquestioningly make the
Lord’s will our own requires majestic and heroic discipleship! At that sublime
moment, we become consecrated to the Lord, and totally yield our wills to Him.
Such spiritual submissiveness is beautiful, powerful, and transformational.” – Elder
Ulisses Soares
