Called to serve 1

Mark 16:15
God invites strongly missionaries to go and preach His gospel all over the world.
3 Nephi 27: 13-22
To do the will of the Father was the accomplishment of Jesus Christ's mission on this earth.
Called to serve announces to my mind that I will be a stewart to others and a minister of Christ. I will forget myself and not be selfish; I will be sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, I will be a volunteer on behalf of Christ to teach His gospel. I picture missionaries eating and teaching us, my family and I, in my home in my precendent stage of life of teenagehood and childhood. At this time, as a young adult I anticipate this condition of becoming a full time missionary.
Because I have a treasure that I cherish, that gives me life, I believe that sharing it to other people is my duty of every day. I like what Paul says in Romans 1 verse 16 :"I will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ". Our weaknesses do not encourage us to stand as good examples, but I believe that those weaknesses do encourage you and me to desire to teach and invite others who are sick and weak to meet Jesus-Christ. Indeed, everybody needs a smile to heal a little sorrow in the heart as well as every soul needs Jesus' gospel to heal unseen pain in the physical and spiritual bodies. I think of Jesus Christ as my friend and my savior. "God micro-manages the affairs of our lives as well as we allow Him to" cited president Orgill at the fireside last night. As well as this previous quote is explicit to me, I also believe that God knows how to deal with us. Consequently, I put my trust in the Lord that He knows those who are ready to hear His gospel. Otherwise, we as His laborers are sent to plant a seed in the hearts of those people.
