Oh, if only we loved Christ more, my brothers and sisters! If we lived closer to the cross, if we understood more deeply the value of His blood, if we wept like He did over the lost, if we felt more the seriousness of souls perishing and the joy of their salvation—if only we rejoiced with Christ in the

thought of seeing the results of His suffering and being fully satisfied—if only we delighted more in the divine plan that the kingdoms of this world will belong to Christ, I’m sure we would all find more ways and means to spread the gospel of Christ.

Remember, every part of our moral history is being recorded for eternity. Processes are at work that will preserve every act, word, and thought. Not just the last chapter, but every line and detail of our actual history is being permanently recorded for

the world to see on the day when all secrets will be revealed. We are not writing on water, but carving on material that will last forever. The chapters of our history are “engraved with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever.”
