Human life is the greatest of God’s powers, the most mysterious
and magnificent chemistry of it all, and you and I have been given it, but
under the most serious and sacred of restrictions.
You and I–who can make neither mountain nor
moonlight, not one rain-drop or a single rose–have this greater gift in an
absolutely unlimited way.
And the
only control placed on us is self-control–self-control born of respect for the
divine sacramental power it is. Surely
God’s trust in us to respect this future-forming gift is an awesomely
staggering one.
Elder Holland has such a beautiful way of saying things. He can at once
make something wonderful to read and utterly soul piercing.
