It
is not God who has given us the spirit of fear; this comes from the adversary.
So many of us are fearful of what our peers will say, that we will be looked
upon with disdain and criticized if we stand for what is right. But I remind
you that “wickedness never was happiness” (Alma
41:10).
Evil never was happiness. Sin never was happiness. Happiness lies in the power
and the love and the sweet simplicity of the gospel
of Jesus Christ.
(Gordon B. Hinckley)
