Do it now...

"Many of us place ourselves in circumstances far more consequential than embarrassment because of our procrastination to become fully converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We know what is right, but we delay full spiritual involvement because of laziness, fear, rationalization, or lack of faith. We convince ourselves that 'someday I’m going to do it.' However, for many 'someday' never comes, and even for others who eventually do make a change, there is an irretrievable loss of progress and surely regression. . . . Now is the time to exercise our faith. Now is the time to commit to righteousness. Now is the time to do whatever is required to resolve our undesired circumstances. Now is the time to reconcile with God through the merciful process of change afforded us by the Redeemer of mankind."

- Donald L. Hallstrom, “Do It Now,” Ensign , Nov 2007, 49–51
