“President John Taylor warned us, ‘If you do not magnify
your callings, God will hold you responsible for those whom you might have
saved had you done your duty.’ And who of us can afford to be responsible for
the delay of eternal life of a human soul? If great joy is the reward of saving
one soul, then how terrible must be the remorse of those whose timid efforts
have allowed a child of God to go unwarned or unaided so that he has to wait
till a dependable servant of God comes along. The old adage is ever true: ‘Do
your duty, that is best; leave unto the Lord the rest.’ Most service given by
priesthood holders is accomplished quietly, without fanfare. A friendly smile,
a warm handclasp, a sincere testimony of truth can literally lift lives, change
human nature, and save precious souls.” – President Thomas S. Monson
