(April 29, 2015)
There
is a great deal in each of us of the evil servant. If we knew that the Savior was returning
tomorrow, would we not behave in dramatically different ways? Would we not be kinder to our neighbors? Would we not hurry out to get our home
teaching down for the month? Would we
not repent, pray more fervently, and so forth.
Why,
then, are we not doing that now? I must
reluctantly conclude that in my case it is because I say in my heart, my Lord
delayeth in His coming. What a tragedy
that is, for the opportunities for service I have lost. What a statement of my faith that is, and a
demonstration of the weaknesses in my heart.
I hope
that I am able to better treat each day as if it were my last and the Lord will
come tomorrow – that when He does come (or my days come to an end), the Lord
will find me so doing.
