"The prophetic promises and blessings of Church welfare, of providing in
the Lord's way, are some of the most magnificent and sublime the Lord
has pronounced upon His children. ...Whether we are rich
or poor,
regardless where we live on this globe, we all need each other, for it
is in sacrificing our time, talents, and resources that our spirits
mature and become refined. This work of providing in the Lord's way ...
cannot be neglected or set aside. It is central to our doctrine; it is
the essence of our religion."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Providing in the
Lord's Way," Oct. 2011 General Conference
I totally agree, Sarah. Reading/learning about being temporally/spiritually self-reliant is inspiring and really helps you better understand the eternal significance of being self-reliant. I love this assignment as well!
