SERVICE

“Dedicated missionary service returns a dividend of eternal joy which extends throughout mortality and into eternity.”  ~President Thomas S. Monson, Come, All Ye Sons of God, April 2013 General Conference

 “Every covenant servant of His within His kingdom on earth and in the spirit world will receive His guidance by the Spirit as they bless and serve others for Him.  And they will feel His love and find joy in being drawn closer to Him.” ~President Henry B. Eyring, Come Unto Me, April 2013 General Conference

“Whatever our age, capacity, Church calling, or location, we are as one called to the work to help Him in His harvest of souls until He comes again.” ~President Henry B. Eyring, We Are One, April 2013 General Conference

“Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.” ~Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Unselfish Service, April 2009 General Conference

“With all your differences in personal circumstances and past experiences, I can tell you something of what lies ahead for you. As you keep the faith, you will find yourself invited by the Lord often to serve someone in need when it will not seem convenient. It may appear to be an unpleasant and perhaps even impossible task. When the call comes, it may seem you are not needed or that someone else could easily give the succor.” ~President Henry B. Eyring, The Caregiver, October 2012 General Conference

“Serving God and our fellowmen will transform us into something greater than we ever thought possible.” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Four Titles, April 2013 General Conference

“As we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us.  The darkness will surely fade, because it cannot exist in the presence of light.” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Hope of God’s Light, April 2013 General Conference

 

“If our hearts are pure—if we seek not our own glory but the glory of Almighty God, if we seek to do His will, if we desire to bless the lives of our family and fellowman—we will not be left to walk alone. As President Monson has often reminded us, ‘When we are on the Lord’s errand, we are entitled to the Lord’s help.’” ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Hope of God’s Light, April 2013 General Conference

 

“My dear brethren, divine blessings for priesthood service are activated by our diligent efforts, our willingness to sacrifice, and our desire to do what is right. Let us be the ones to act and not be acted upon. Preaching is fine, but sermons that do not lead to action are like fires without heat or water that cannot quench thirst.” ~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Why of Priesthood Service, April 2012 General Conference

“It is not enough to serve God with all of our might and strength. He who looks into our hearts and knows our minds demands more than this. In order to stand blameless before God at the last day, we must also serve him with all our heart and mind.” ~Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Why Do We Serve?, October 1984 General Conference
