Building Humble Hearts With Service

Suwon First Zone Meeting

We talked about the Conference talk, “What Lack I Yet?”.

In the New Testament a young man met the Savior, and asked, “What lack I yet?” Jesus told to him, to go and sell everything he had, and give to the poor, and follow him. The young man was humble enough to ask the Lord but did not have enough faith to do what Jesus asked him to do. If we ask, we should be willing to follow the answer we receive. We need to ask with real intent and be willing to act.

We need to ask what is holding us back. What is keeping us from progressing?

This is a hard question to ask when you get out here in the mission field, and it's a challenge to figure out what Heavenly Father wants you to do.

However, he looked back because in his heart he wanted to go back. He doubted the Lord’s ability to give him something better than he already had.

What are we willing to give up? Can we have enough faith to not look back? When you apply to everyday life, it can be more challenging than we realize. I must admit when I am concerned about one of my children, it’s hard not to look back. When there is a problem at home, it’s hard to not look back. When there is family conflict, it’s hard to not look back.

I will not look back, even though sometimes it's hard.

It is always a special experience to meet with the other missionaries, and it is always really hard when they transfer the missionaries we have learned to love, and care about.
