The keeping of the seventh commandment is such a vital shield! By lowering or losing that shield, the much-needed blessings of heaven are lost..."LUST is NO substitute for LOVE; actually, it chokes out the development of real love, causing “the love of many to wax cold”...In certain times and circumstances, discipleship requires us to be willing to stand alone! Our willingness to do so, here and now, is consistent with Christ's kneeling alone, there and then, in Gethsemane. In the final atoning process, "None were with Him"...As we take our stand, the faithful will not be alone, however. Of necessity, the angel who stood by Christ in Gethsemane to strengthen Him left Him . If we hold aloft the shield of faith in God and faith in His commandments, His angels will be "round about us, to bear us up" and "have charge over us" . Of this promise, I testify. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
