“You might serve in a very visible role for a time, only
later to be called to quiet, unseen service—or to support those with less
experience. When callings change in ways that deeply impact you or your family,
it can require great faith and trust in the Lord while you adjust. Our service
is a choice, an offering to God, and a blessing. We know prayer, study of
scripture, and worship at church and in the temple are critical to the
development of our faith. Have we also come to see our callings as having a
foundational role in the expansion of our faith? Callings from the Lord are
tailor-made for our growth, as we humble ourselves, look outward, and learn
that, indeed, when we are in the service of our fellow beings, we are in fact
in the service of our God. It really isn’t where we serve but how that matters
to the Lord.” – Elder Patrick Kearon
