GEMS-Teachings: Stand Ye in Holy Places

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
Stand Ye in Holy Places
—————————————————

“You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. You must be sure, if you would rescue the man, that you yourself are setting the example of what you would have him be. You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul. You teachers, the testimony that you bear, the spirit with which you teach and with which you lead, is one of the most important assets that you can have, as you help to strengthen those who need so much, wherein you have so much to give.”

Topics: example, testimony

( Harold B. Lee, “Stand Ye in Holy Places,” Ensign, July 1973, 123)
