Against the Wind, by Liz Lemon Swindle

Wherever we are … , let us reach out and care as our Savior would.

Elder Gerrit W. Gong

Apr. 2023 general conference

As followers of Jesus Christ, we seek to minister to others as He would because lives are waiting to change. …

Everywhere I go, I gratefully learn from those who minister and care as our Savior would. …

Higher and holier ministering comes when we pray for “the pure love of Christ” [see Moroni 7:47–48] and follow the Spirit. …

… In many places, we can reach out, understand others where they are, and build relationships when we regularly visit members in their homes. Inspired invitations change lives. When invitations help us make and keep sacred covenants, we draw closer to the Lord and each other. …

Inspired ministering blesses families and individuals; it also strengthens wards and branches. …

Our Savior is our perfect example. Because He is good, He can go about doing good. He blesses the one and the 99. He is ministering personified. …

Jesus Christ ministers. Angels minister. … As we minister as He would, we witness His miracles, His blessings. …

Wherever we are in this Easter season, let us reach out and care as our Savior would, especially to those whom we are privileged by love and assignment to minister. In so doing, may we draw closer to Jesus Christ and each other, becoming more like Him and the followers of Jesus Christ He would have us each be.
