Last night I read Doctrine and Covenants section 60. It was about Joseph Smith receiving revelation for some brethren on where they should go to preach the gospel. I really liked verses 2 and 3.
2. But with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but the kide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. Wo unto such, for mine anger is kindled against them.
3. And it shall come to pass, if they are not more faithful unto me, it shall be taken away, even that which they have.
To me, it means we should not fear man more than God. I know I'm guilty of that a lot of times, especially when it comes to missionary work. I talk myself out of sharing my testimony with someone because I'm too afraid they'll reject what is so personal to me. But Heavenly Father has blessed me with so much, I need to share it! I'm really trying to work on being better at remembering that it's most important what Heavenly Father thinks, not my fellow man.
