During our Ward Council (planning) meeting this morning we were asked to give the spiritual thought. As I was contemplating what to say, I was thumbing through the recent Ensign that came (July 09) and I was impressed to read the section of the First Presidency article titled "Our Service, Save Souls".
I had an experience this week that really made me wonder if we are working hard enough to save the lost or struggling souls. The Lord has emphasized that the worth of souls is GREAT and that each of us are his children and are entitled to our Father's blessings.
I felt very impressed to share my experience with those gathered in the meeting today and remind them that we need to do everything we can to save those souls and not criticize or give up on those who don't participate or complete a project, don't attend activities, don't do their home teaching or visiting teaching or come to church for whatever reason.
Those called to lead our ward, our youth, our children do you really know who they are? Do you know their struggles? Do you understand their problems, likes, dislikes?
I encourage you to NEVER give up on anyone! Reach out with a helping hand, love them, serve them and encourage them "and bring, save it be one soul unto me..." D&C 18:15-16
