President Eyring Quote

Coincidentally, Lisa and I were just discussing this quote this morning.  I wasn't sure where I heard it or who said it but then it happened to be the daily message I get in my e-mail every day.  :-) So I decided to post it here.  It's a great quote!

"God has sent mortal servants who can, by the Holy Ghost, help us recognize what He would have us do and what He forbids. God makes it attractive to choose the right by letting us feel the effects of our choices. If we choose the right, we will find happiness—in time. If we choose evil, there comes sorrow and regret—in time. Those effects are sure. Yet they are often delayed for a purpose. If the blessings were immediate, choosing the right would not build faith. And since sorrow is also sometimes greatly delayed, it takes faith to feel the need to seek forgiveness for sin early rather than after we feel its sorrowful and painful effects."
—Henry B. Eyring, "A Priceless Heritage of Hope" April 2014 General Conference
