God wants us to serve willingly and obediently.

The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come. A desire to serve is a natural outcome of one's conversion, worthiness, and preparation.

Now the only way you can serve God on earth is by serving others.

The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often, we turn the other way because we think there's nothing we can do.

We have to humble ourselves and the way you do that is by serving other people.

So you can't lose serving God, and that all things work together for good.

We come to love those we serve. If we choose to begin to serve the Master out of even a glimmer of faith, we will begin to know Him. We will come to know His purposes for the people we serve for Him. Even when they do not accept our offer to serve them, we will feel His appreciation if we persist.

We reserve our deepest respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service and give their lives to help keep our nation secure.

No blessing, no good, can follow in the path trodden by slavery.
