A Calling You Don't Feel Up To

 

Sir, We Would Like to See Jesus

By Elder Robert M. Daines

Of the Seventy

A few years ago, I got a calling I didn’t feel up to. I awoke early, nervous—but with a phrase in mind I had not heard before: that to serve in this Church is to stand in the river of God’s love for His children. This Church is a work party of people with picks and shovels trying to help clear the channel for the river of God’s love to reach His children at the end of the row.

Whoever you are, whatever your past, there is room for you in this Church.²⁹

Grab a pick and shovel and join the team. Help carry His love to His children, and some of it will splash on you.
