Demonstrating Our Discipleship through Love and
Service
Throughout His mortal life,
Jesus Christ showed His love for others by ministering to them. He said, “By
this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another” (John 13:35). He set the example and wants us to “succor those that
stand in need of [our] succor” (Mosiah 4:16). He calls His disciples to work
with Him in His ministry, giving them the opportunity to serve others and
become more like Him.
Our service as visiting
teachers will closely resemble the ministry of our Savior when we show our love
for those we visit teach by doing the following:
*Remember their names and the
name of their family members and become acquainted with them.
*Love them without judging
them.
*Watch over them and
strengthen their faith “one by one,” as the Savior did (3 Nephi 11:15).
*Establish sincere
Friendships with them and visit them in their homes and elsewhere.
*Care about each sister.
Remember birthdays, graduations, weddings, baptisms, or other times that are
meaningful to her.
*Reach out to new and
less-active members.
*Reach out to the lonely or
those in need of comfort.
