“It goes without saying that despite genuine love and
sincerity, many, if not most, of our invitations to share the message of the
Restoration will be declined. But remember this: everyone is worthy of such an
invitation. All are alike unto God. The Lord is pleased with every effort we
make, no matter the outcome; a declined invitation is no reason for our
association to end; and a lack of interest today may well turn to interest
tomorrow. Let us never forget the Restoration has come out of intense ordeal
and sacrifice. We rejoice in the fruits of the Restoration, including the power to bind on earth and in heaven. As expressed years
ago by President Gordon B. Hinckley, “If nothing else came out of all of the
sorrow and travail and pain of the restoration than the sealing power of the
holy priesthood to bind together families forever, it would have been worth all
that it has cost.” – Elder D. Todd Christofferson
