"Seek those who are lost and rejoice with the Father when they return" - quotes


Here are some of the quotes I shared in class today about finding Lost Sheep. They are especially powerful in the context of the full talk, also linked below. You can also find the story I shared today about Chris the lost sheep in a previous post.


“Trust the Lord to work His miracles. Understand that it’s not your job to convert people. That is the role of the Holy Ghost.  … Yours is to love God and love your neighbors … Follow this path, and God will work miracles through you to bless His precious children.”
- Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf,  “Missionary Work: Sharing What Is In Your Heart,” April 2019 General Conference

God’s shepherds are to strengthen, heal, bind up that which is broken, bring again that which was driven away, seek that which was lost.28

We covenant to follow Him, not passively, blindly, or ‘sheepishly,’ but instead desiring with all our hearts and minds to love God and our neighbor, bearing one another’s burdens and rejoicing in one another’s joys.  … We gladly seek to join His work of gathering and ministering to all of God’s children.”
- Elder Gerrit W. Gong,  “Good Shepherd, Lamb of God,” April 2019 General Conference

"But it all begins with prayer.  The Holy Ghost will guide us to know what is best. What would happen in our wards and branches if each family used a fast Sunday to fast and pray about a less-active person or family, then to reach out in love and friendship? The key is to pray and then do!"

- Elder J. Kent Jolley Of the Seventy – 
“Parables of Jesus” June 2003
