Why we should do what we do

"Are we active in the Gospel, or are we merely busy in the Church?

The key is to follow the example of the Savior in all things. If we do that, we will naturally focus on saving individuals rather than performing tasks & implementing programs."

  ---- Bishop Caussé

I think this is a key for Ministering!! We have been asked to renew our efforts in friendship, seeking the one, truly blessing those around us. Gone are the set messages, the statistical reports - we are asked to treat others in ways the Savior Himself would.

I have to admit, there have been times in the past when I was so focused on "teaching the lesson" i had prepared that I didn't focus on those in front of me, who were there, possibly searching for peace, comfort, guidance....or just kindness and acceptance.

We are such a task-oriented society, some days we all forget the WHYs and WHOs....the whole reason we do it all anyway.

I'm just sayin' 😇
