President Boyd K. Packer:
“The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting or shaking us
with a heavy hand. Rather it whispers. It caresses so gently that if we are
preoccupied we may not feel it at all. . . .“Occasionally it will
press just firmly enough for us to pay heed. But most of the time, if we do not
heed the gentle feeling, the Spirit will withdraw and wait until we come
seeking and listening” (“The Candle of the Lord,” Ensign, Jan. 1983,
53).
