" 'Will ye also go away?' (John 6:67), the Master asked His disciples after many of his fair-weather followers went back, and 'walked no more with him.' (John 6:66.) The very process of daily living makes and breaks followers. Life's stern seasons and storms overturn those not grounded and rooted (See Eph. 3:17; Col. 1:23; 1 Pet. 5:10). However, those who 'believe and are sure' (John 6:69) about Jesus' divinity do not panic, for instance, at the arrival of a new volley of fiery darts; they merely hold aloft the quenching shield of faith."- Neal A. Maxwell, "'Answer Me'," Ensign, Nov 1988, 31
