True Greatness
Posted On 04/08/2011 01:20:43 by Gargantuan

We don't have to become a great leader or servant to be great in the eyes of God.  When we are able to serve others and lift their burden then we are truly great in the eyes of God.  This is a wonderful form of greatness.  Blessings, Gar


Bearing One Another's Burdens


"Everywhere there are [people] who are in the middle of their own stories, facing dangers and hardships. . . . There will be 'angels round about you, to bear you up' (D&C 84:88). They will sustain us as we carry our earthly burdens. Often in our lives, those angels are the people around us, the people who love us, those who allow themselves to be instruments in the Lord's hands. President Spencer W. Kimball said: 'God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom' ("There is Purpose in Life," New Era, Sept. 1974, 5)."
