Learn to Obey

Learn to obey
And not be led astray
Of mistakes... abhor
Repulsed... unto remorse

Exercise self restraint
Change course... lest faith grow faint
For in this fertile soil
The flower of repentance will not spoil

Foundation Standards

"An individual with foundation standards and an enduring commitment to obey them is not easily led astray. Someone who is increasingly repulsed by grievous sin and who exercises self-restraint outside human influence has character. Repentance will be more efficacious for such an individual. A feeling of remorse after a mistake is a fertile soil wherein repentance can flower."
Richard G. Scott, "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 9
