Courage to Act | Changed Through Jesus Christ

Описание: Sometimes our hearts are so filled with the love of Jesus Christ that we feel we can do any mighty thing he asks. Very often, He asks for something small that is slightly inconvenient or a little outside our comfort zone. In that moment, the adversary may interrupt: “That’s not important. That’s not a prompting. That’s not possible.” Righteous intention alone will not be sufficient to hold on to that prompting and fulfill our assignment from the Lord. We will need the courage to stand up and move our feet in the direction of heaven's goals, before the opportunity has passed us by.

Mandy heard clearly her assignment from the Lord. Like Nephi and the Brother of Jared, who were each commanded by God to build ships, Mandy prayed for further instructions and then did the less-comfortable thing that was right (1 Nephi 17:9, Ether 2:18-19). And like Nephi and the Brother of Jared, because she believes in the strength, ability, and wisdom of Jesus Christ, she didn’t have to depend on just her own understanding or ability. Because she knows He gave everything for her, she allowed herself to step a little outside her comfort zone to accomplish His work.

Many of us can remember a moment in our lives when we diminished or discounted a prompting from the Lord. Though we may not know the result of that missed opportunity, we may still think upon it with a hint of regret. Such memories are designed to inspire us to swifter obedience the next time He calls our name—and He will call again! He still believes we can do it. For as long as we keep trying, He will always call again.

The Book of Mormon is scripture which the Father brought forth out of a hillside to restore His gospel to its fullness in these Last Days. He would like to place it in the hands of every person on earth because every one of us is His beloved child. Do you know just one person who might receive it from your hands? If not, are you willing to pray as Nephi, “Lord, wither shall I go that I may find?” (1 Nephi 17:9)
