"Reverence may be defined as a profound respect mingled with love and awe. Other words that add to our understanding of reverence include gratitude, honor, veneration, and admiration. The root word revere also implies an element of fear. Thus, reverence might be understood to mean an attitude of profound respect and love with a desire to honor and show gratitude, with a fear of breaking faith or offending."A little different than the way reverence is taught in Primary. Wish I'd had this definition of reverence when I was in serving in the Primary.
--M. Russell Ballard, "God's Love for His Children", Ensign May 1988, 57
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
