O Ye That Embark

I read an talk by Pres. Henry B. Eyring today and I thought I would share a part of it.

"Our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give. The tough part of that reality, however, is that for Him to give you that increased power you must go in service and faith to your outer limits.

It is like building muscle strength. You must break down your muscles to build them up. You push muscles to the point of exhaustion. Then they repair themselves, and they develop greater strength. Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits.

Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.

The Lord will bear you up and will at times do it by calling others to stand with you"

"Time and again over your life, the Lord has been giving you the experiences to build strength, courage and determination. He knew how much you would need that to serve Him. "

"Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day."
