“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels ... The true spirit of the Church gives to woman the highest place of honor in human life.” #FirstPresidency
“Because mothers are essential to God’s great plan of happiness, their sacred work is opposed by Satan, who would destroy the family and demean the worth of women.” #RussellMNelson
“Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven.” #EzraTaftBenson

“When obedience ceases to be an irritant & becomes a quest, in that moment, God will endow us with power.” #EzraTaftBenson

Note that he doesn’t say “when obedience becomes enjoyable, easy, or wildly rewarding.” When obedience “becomes a quest.”
A quest is an intentional journey toward an observable goal. Obedience is a quest—a perpetual intention, a series of deeds, a development of habits that brings us to the observable goal—to be with God & to be like him. Obedience is not the goal. It’s the quest.
A quest is difficult, by nature. It’s an intense endurance exercise that never gets entirely comfortable. There will be stumbling & course correction. There will be scrapes & bruises. There will also be conquered mountains & thrilling vistas.
