The Prophet Joseph said that the process of becoming more like our Heavenly Father will bring clearer views and greater enjoyments, until we overcome the evils of this world, and lose every desire for sin, until we arrive like the ancients, at that point of faith where we are wrapped in the power and glory of our Maker and caught up to dwell with Him. “But we consider that this is a station to which no man ever arrived in a moment” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 51).

“It all takes time. The work of eternity is not done in a moment, but, rather, in “process of time.” And according to the desires of our hearts, said Apostle Neil A. Maxwell.
“A loving God will work with us, but the initiating particle of desire which ignites the spark of resolve must be our own!”
So, I pray we may be patient with ourselves, with others, and stoke the flames of our best desires, and trust the process of covenant discipleship.
It is working. It will fully work!
