On the Lord's Errand

"Some of you may be shy by nature or consider yourselves inadequate to respond affirmatively to a calling.  Remember that this work is not yours and mine along.  It is the Lord's work, and when we are on the Lord's errand we are entitled to the Lord's help." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

I think that everyone, when presented with a new calling, should accept without reservation.  These new assignments can be daunting and exciting and often cause us to grow.  I often feel like my effort is so insignificant to what others do, but this quote is a good reminder that all our efforts, no matter how small, or how long we are called to serve in that capacity can make a difference.   And....if we are able to serve till the end of that calling with pure intentions, then the Lord will bless us for it and we will feel accomplished in it.
