December 1998 Ensign, FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE, Jesus Christ—Gifts and Expectations, BY PRESIDENT EZRA TAFT BENSON:

“Try as you may, you cannot put the Lord in your debt. For every time you try to do His will, He simply pours out more blessings upon you. Sometimes the blessings may seem to be a little slow in coming—perhaps this tests your faith—but come they will, and abundantly. It has been said, “Cast your bread upon the waters and after a while it shall come back to you toasted and buttered.”
