“Jesus thinks and acts out of pure love; He yearns to bless
and lift others; He delights to do the will of God. With faith in Christ, we
can pray the Holy Spirit will effect a mighty change in us to instill these
same divine motivations in our heart. We can become the people God needs us to
be. Adopting the character of Christ is not only a question of our personal
preparation but a primary element of preparing the world for the Lord’s return
and His glorious millennial reign. We tend to underestimate the influence of
Christlike individuals in the world, but working one by one has always been
Jesus’ approach to changing society and establishing His kingdom. The
aggregation of individual choices over time forms and changes societies for
good or ill. No one of us alone can change the world, but each of us can have
an influence in the world.” – President D. Todd Christofferson
