Service

Mosiah 2:17

When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

Righteousness should be at the heart of all Service.

“Continue to seek opportunities for service. Don’t be overly concerned with status. … It is important to be appreciated. But our focus should be on righteousness, not recognition; on service, not status. The faithful visiting teacher, who quietly goes about her work month after month, is just as important to the work of the Lord as those who occupy what some see as more prominent positions in the Church. Visibility does not equate to value” Howard W. Hunter

The Greatest Example

Jesus is the greatest example of service.  He gave all that he had, including his life,  for others.  He always focused on the needs of others.

Matthew25:40

Conversion

“Conversion means consecrating your life to caring for and serving others who need your help and sharing your gifts and blessings.”

Isn’t the measure of the level of your conversion how you treat others? The person who does only those things in the Church that concern himself alone will never reach the goal of perfection.

◦Elder Robert J. Whetten

How many people did you help?

Last January President Thomas S. Monson taught Brigham Young University students that their student days should include “the matter of spiritual preparation,” including service to others. “An attitude of love characterized the mission of the Master,” President Monson said. “He gave sight to the blind, legs to the lame, and life to the dead. Perhaps when we [face] our Maker, we will not be asked, ‘How many positions did you hold?’ but rather, ‘How many people did you help?’ In reality,” President Monson concluded, “you can never love the Lord until you serve Him by serving His people.”
