GEMS-Youth: Elder Dallin H. Oaks on Revelation

Elder Dallin H. Oaks on Revelation

“We do not always receive inspiration or revelation when we requestit. Sometimes we are delayed in the receipt of revelation, and sometimes weare left to our own judgment. We cannot force spiritual things. It must beso. Our life’s purpose to obtain experience and to develop faith wouldbe frustrated if our Heavenly Father directed us in every act, even inevery important act. We must make decisions and experience the consequencesin order to develop self-reliance and faith.”
