Service for Others

Service is a really good word to think about. That's what I have done for the past three weeks so far because I just love doing service for others. True disciples of Jesus Christ desire to serve those around them.  When we are baptized, we make a covenant that we will take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. The prophet Alma explained this convenant to some converts.  He saw that their desire to "come into the fold of God" included their willingness to give meaningful service (Mosiah 18:8-9).  The most visible strength that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has is that we do unselfish service for our members and all other people.  The lives of the members of the Church, the service that they give to people, and the way that they show their love for people is the best symbol of Christ that we have to show people all over the world.  One cool way that we can do service, as members, is going to the temple and serving in there, showing our love for the people that walk in. We just need to have a smile on our faces every day. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." (Mosiah 2:17) As you strive to serve others, look to the Savior as your example.  Even though He came to the earth as the Son of God , He humbly served all those around Him.  He declared, "I am among you as he that serveth." ( Luke 22:27)
