This understanding overcomes hesitations to serve or preferences not to serve.

Our Heavenly Father is a God of high expectations... Of our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son and the joyous potential we have because of Them, I humbly and confidently bear witness.

I express my gratitude for the Father's great plan of mercy and for the Savior's willingness to carry it out.
I know that He will manifest Himself in mercy in His holy temple and in every part of our life if we will seek Him.
