Elder Gerald
N. Lund of the Seventy:
“Individual
agency is so sacred that Heavenly Father will never force the human heart, even
with all His infinite power. Man may try to do so, but God does not. To put it another
way, God allows us to be the guardians, or the gatekeepers, of our own hearts.
We must, of our own free will, open our hearts to the Spirit, for He will not
force Himself upon us” (“Opening Our Hearts,” Ensign May 2008, 33)
