“In modeling our ministering after Jesus Christ, it is
important to remember that His efforts to love, lift, serve, and bless had a
higher goal than meeting the immediate need. He clearly knew of their
day-to-day needs and had compassion on their current suffering as He healed,
fed, forgave, and taught. But He wanted to do more than take care of today. He
wanted those around Him to follow Him, to know Him, and to reach their divine
potential. As we seek to minister just as He did, we will be provided
opportunities to forget self and lift others. These opportunities may often be
inconvenient and test our desire to become more like the Master, whose greatest
service of all, His infinite Atonement, was anything but convenient.” - Bishop
W. Christopher Waddell
