Saturday Morning Session
Do Your Part with All Your Heart
Excerpts
Simply put, discipleship takes self-discipline. …
… Our faith, which is our loyalty to the Savior, becomes stronger as it is tested against the opposition we face here in mortality. It endures because we keep nourishing it, we keep actively applying it, and we never give up.
On the other hand, if we fail to use faith and its convincing power by acting upon it, we become less sure of things we once held sacred—less confident of things we once knew were true. …
The fire of yesterday’s testimony can warm us for only so long. …
… Our gifts magnify and multiply only when we put them to use. …
It may be true that our spiritual gifts are not always flashy, but that does not mean they are less important. …
So let us each do our little part. …
Remember, it is Jesus Christ who already did the superhuman part when He conquered death and sin.
Our part is to follow the Christ. …
Where faith is weak, begin with a hope in Christ Jesus and His power to cleanse and purify. …
We know that our efforts alone cannot make us celestial. But they can make us loyal and committed to Jesus Christ, and He can make us celestial. …
… We are thankful for the steps we took yesterday, but we don’t stop there. We know we still have a long way to go, but we don’t let that discourage us.
That is the essence of who we are—as followers of Christ.
