This is such a small and simple phrase but I love it.
Think about what on this earth(temporal) could possible be more important that
returning to live with our heavenly Father.. for Eternity. I tried making a
list... I couldn't think of anything. It has changed the way i look at
missionary work. We have been warned that as Members of the Church that we have
a responsibility to share the gospel and when we don't we will be held
accountable. Specifically parents with there children and missionary's with
investigators. This has changed the way that i share the gospel with people. I
was under the impression that maybe some people dont read the BoM everyday,
attend church. or pray often because they didnt know that It was and is a
commandment from God. So as a missionary it is my job to help these people
learn and change so that they maybe feel the atonement in there life. This is
very difficult to do and i understand why we dont always warn people to
repent.. I have a deep respect for the missionary's in the BoM that warn entire
city's that they need to repent. IT is very hard to tell some that they are
doing something wrong, even harder to tell them they are doing it wrong nicely.
I want to be a bold missionary. When i share my Testimony with people on the
street I dont leave out the part anymore that this is the "only" true
gospel and only through baptism and enduring until the end will you be saved..
It is deff a lot easier to share this message with non member then a member. As
I have started doing this I have been absolutely blow away with peoples
knowledge of the truth and yet disregard they have for it. I have had members
time and time again this week openly tell me they will not follow the
commadments. This makes my heart break. I bear testimony and share scirptures
and they do not care. I do not have a lot of time to expand on this and
explain. But please Read your BoM daily, pray to God our eternal Father and
attend church weekly...
This is only true and restored Gospel of God and only
through repetence and Christ will you be able to receive Celestial Glory.
Nothing on this world is more important. Dont be scared
to share it.
