I just don't share your faith.
Anyone can speak with God. It's very easy to do. Most people just dont bother doing it or they don't listen. I can't figure out why people can't believe that an omnipotent Father wouldnt speak with His children. Specifically, because they are unwilling to wait through the trial of faith. Its the instant grafication part of our natures.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
