"When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."
"Like Peter before, we have testimonies, but is conversion a continuing process in your life? Isn't each of us a work in progress in the hands of our Maker? Is God blessing others through you? Do you pray and ask whom the Lord would have you bless, to lift another's burden?"
"Conversion means consecrating your life to caring for and serving others who need your help, and sharing your gifts and blessings. The Lord didn't say tend my sheep when it is convenient, watch my sheep when you aren't busy. He said feed my sheep and my lambs, help them survive this world, keep them close to you. Lead them to safety — the safety of righteous choices that will prepare them for eternal life."
"Every unselfish act of kindness and service increases your spirituality. God would use you to bless others. Your continued spiritual growth and eternal progress is very much wrapped up in your relationships — in how you treat others."
"In numerous wards and branches, there are many good, upright, honest men and women who just don't know how to come back to church. There are good mothers and fathers among them. They have just left and no one has come to check up on them, leaving them with the idea that no one really cares. When men and women of faith visit these individuals and become their friends, strengthen them, pray with them and teach them the gospel, they and their families will come back."
