Ten Virgins

“The oil of spiritual preparedness cannot be shared” in a way that depletes the giver’s supply, “lest there be not enough for us and you.”

“When you give someone money or food, you will have less. However, when you share your testimony, it strengthens and increases for both the bearer and the hearer.”

By sharing spirituality, “neither shall the cruse of oil fail.”

Nature of God

"Our heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive; and, at the same time, is more terrible to the workers of iniquity, more awful in the executions of His punishments, and more ready to detect every false way, than we are apt to suppose Him to be."—Joseph Smith
