Spiritual Submissiveness

"Spiritual submissiveness is not accomplished in an instant, but by the incremental improvements and by the successive use of stepping-stones. Stepping stones are meant to be taken one at a time anyway. Eventually our wills can be 'swallowedup in the will of the Father' as we are 'willing to submit...even as a child doth submit to his father' (Mosiah 15:7; 3:19). Otherwise, though striving, we will continue to feel the world's prop wash and be partially diverted."

Neal A. Maxwell
