Doctrine and Covenants 75: 3

 


Have you ever felt yourself delaying or being hesitant in sharing the gospel? What helps you move from waiting to acting with purpose?

"Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might—" (Doctrine and Covenants 75: 3)

And here's the end part of the commentary entitled: “Labor with your might … proclaiming the truth.” : 

"What do you think it means to “tarry” or “be idle” in sharing the gospel? What does it look like to “labor with your might”? (verse 3).

See also “I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go,” Hymns, no. 270."




In sharing the gospel, to "tarry" or "be idle" means waiting for the perfect moment before doing it, and ending up doing things that don't really accomplish the purpose of sharing the gospel. What to "labor with your might" looks like is being laser-beam focused on accomplishing the Lord's work of sharing the gospel to His children and doing whatever it takes to make it happen.
