For thus saith the Lord — I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end. — Doctrine and Covenants 76:5
"As General Authorities of the Church, we are just the same as you are, and you are just the same as we are," said President Boyd K. Packer, then-acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve during the October 2007 general conference.
"You have the same access to the powers of revelation for your families and for your work and for your callings as we do.
"It is also true that there is an order to things in the Church. When you are called to an office, you then receive revelation that belongs to that office that would not be given to others.
"No member of the Church is esteemed by the Lord as more or less than any other. It just does not work that way! Remember, He is a father — our Father. The Lord is 'no respecter of persons.' "
