“Since knees bend
often bend long before minds, holding back this “part” deprives God’s work of
some of mankind’s very best intellects. Far better to be meek like Moses, who
learned things he “never had supposed” (Moses 1:10). Yet, sadly, brothers and
sisters, in the subtle interplay of agency and identity, there is so much
hesitation. The surrender of the mind is actually a victory, because it then
introduces us to God’s stretching and “higher” ways! (Isaiah 55:9).”
Elder Neal A. Maxwell, “Consecrate Thy Performance,” General
Conference in April 2002.
