If you are wondering where you can improve...

I just received this from LDS-Gems this morning. It left a strong impression on me that there is so much more to do in our quest to help one another.

"Now, my brethren and sisters, the time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships. In other words, to become more Christlike."

( Gordon B. Hinckley, "This Is the Work of the Master," Ensign, May 1995, 71)

If you have any question as to whether God's prophet has any motivation in mind but to do God's will and do his best to help out God's children, I strongly recommend you re-read President Hinckley's words again and again until you change your mind. You might also want to read some of President Hinckley's other quotes.
