This week I'm focusing on talks by President Uchtdorf. Today I read a talk he gave last April titled "You are My Hands". I love the title of this talk. He stuck true to the title giving us counsel and advice on how our church is a church of service, and our ultimate example of service is Jesus Christ.
He mentioned how Christ never once talks "down" to us. He talks "to" us, as equals. He loves us so much that he shares everything he can that he knows we need to know in order to perfect ourselves. And a big part of that is serving our fellow man.
We all have callings that make up our church today. All of us are giving service. Visiting teaching, home teaching, teaching sunday school, being a young women or young men advisor, being in a bishopric: all of those callings (plus many more) we do without expecting pay. Or really expecting anything in return. That's why our church functions so well and withstands the changes the world goes through. We are selfless when it comes to building the church of God. That's how we need to be in order for everything to work. And we all feel good doing service.
Heavenly Father wants us to be eternally happy. He knows that the key to that is serving each other.
