Return to the Presence of God

“He loves us with a perfect love which brings Him to . . . that moment when He shall stand alone to greet at the entry to His Kingdom. . . .“Do nothing to mar that moment. Do not allow yourselves to be deflected from that straight and narrow path, but seek to arrive at that rendezvous in such a circumstance, spiritually, that you can be drenched with joy and know the touch of those arms, for His arms of mercy and love are extended for you. I certify to you that that rendezvous is a reality. For some of you, it will come soon and some later, but it will come, if you are faithful. Of that, I testify!” (Neal A. Maxwell, “The Education of Our Desires” [devotional at the Salt Lake University Institute of Religion, Jan. 5, 1983], 11).
