"Faith
and character are intimately related. Faith in the power of obedience to the
commandments of God will forge strength of character available to you in times
of urgent need. Such character is not developed in moments of great challenge
or temptation. That is when it is intended to be used. Your exercise of faith
in true principles builds character; fortified character expands your capacity
to exercise more faith. As a result, your capacity and confidence to conquer
the trials of life is enhanced. The more your character is fortified, the more
enabled you are to benefit from exercising the power of faith. You will
discover how faith and character interact to strengthen one another. Character
is woven patiently from threads of applied principle, doctrine, and obedience."
