“Becometh As a Child”

K. Douglas Bassett

3 Ne. 9:22; 11:37-38; Matt. 18:3

“Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals, their faith. There is always the love of wonder, a childlike appetite for what is next, and the joy of your life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear or despair. In the center of our heart is a recording chamber, and so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage, and faith, so long are we young.” (David B. Haight, Ensign, Nov. 1983, p. 25)
