Thomas S. Monson -Kindness, Charity, and Love
- And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked.
- If ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth.
- We do not honor the priesthood of God if we are not kind to others.
- Kindness should permeate all of our words and actions at work, at school, at church, and especially in our homes.
David A. Bednar -Called to the Work
- A missionary is not called to a place; rather, he or she is called to serve.
- If ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work.
- Go ye and preach my gospel, whether to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss.
- Be worthy. Stay worthy.
- Please learn to love being and remaining worthy. Be worthy. Stay worthy.
Gerald Causse -Prepare the Way
- Too often we try to entertain our young men and relegate them to a spectator role, when their faith and love for the gospel can be best developed by magnifying their priesthood. By actively participating in the work of salvation, they will be connected with heaven and they will gain awareness of their divine potential.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -The Greatest among You
- You can't get honor in the kingdom of heaven by campaigning for it.
- In God's kingdom, greatness and leadership means seeing others as they truly are--as God sees them--and then reaching out and ministering to them.
- Don't forget rule number six: "Don't take yourself too darn seriously."
- Leadership in the Church is not so much about directing others as it is about our willingness to be directed by God.
- Opportunities to go about doing good and to serve others are limitless.
- In the eyes of God, there is no calling in the kingdom that is more important than another. Our service--whether great or small--refines our spirits, opens the windows of heaven, and releases God's blessings not only upon those who we serve but upon us as well.
- When we reach out to others, we can know with humble confidence that God acknowledges our service with approval and approbation.
- Each time we give of ourselves to others, we take a step closer to becoming good and true disciples of the One who gave His all for us: our Savior.
- One kind of service is not above another.
- What is the most important calling in the Church? It is the one you currently have. No matter how humble or prominent it may seem to be, the calling you have right now is the one that will allow you not only to lift others but also to become the man of God you were created to be.
- Lift where you stand!
- Let us serve others humbly--with energy, gratitude, and honor.
- Even though our acts of service may seem lowly, modest, or of little value, those who reach out in kindness and compassion to others will one da know the value of their service by the eternal and blessed grace of Almighty God.
Henry B. Eyring -"Walk with Me"
- It's natural to feel some inadequacy when we consider what the Lord has called us to do. In fact, if you told me that you feel perfectly capable of fulfilling your priesthood duties, I might worry that you do not understand them. On the other hand, if you told me that you feel like giving up because the task is too far beyond your abilities, then I would want to help you understand how the Lord magnifies and strengthens the holders of His priesthood to do things they never could have done alone.
- If you feel a little overwhelmed, take that as a good sign. It indicates that you can sense the magnitude of the trust God has placed in you.
- You need never feel that you are too small or insignificant for Him to take notice of you and the service you are giving in His name.
- The Lord's work is not just to solve problems; it is to build people.
- If you listen, He will teach you His ways.
- Our progress is His work!
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
