Ministering is Motivated by Christlike Love
Sister Lomat facilitated today’s Relief Society meeting. We talked a lot about the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman found in John 4.
Here's the story in video form:
Our progression in the gospel, from Moses’ time until now, line upon line, has brought us to this newest calling to minister to our sisters and those around us.
The Savior taught the gospel to the Samaritan woman and showed us that
her circumstance didn’t matter. She was worthy of respect and he loved her. Elder
Russell M. Nelson said that “this was the first time the Lord acknowledged Himself to be the Christ.” Just as the Samaritan woman, we are each loved and respected
by the Savior. He knows us and all the details of our lives.
Christ’s whole ministry was love. His love is infinite, and we are all worthy of His love, regardless of where we are in our journey. Ministering gives us the opportunity to share a portion of that love with our sisters, and to figure out what our sisters need, and maybe what we need
