Have a round of Hugs

Hello Y'all in Arizona, ...or Loozeeanna
I was recently reading in Alma 4 when he decides to give up the judgement seat. In verse 19 it says, " And this he did that he might go forth among his people...that he might preach the word of God unto them, to stir them up in remembrance of their duty...seeing no way that he might reclaim them save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them." I am constantly wondering what we can do to motivate our members. When I read this, the scripture seemed to say that we must bear them UP in pure testimony FOR them. So, if we preach the word, bear testimony, and "stir them up in remembrance of their" own testimonies, it will be done. If each of us could always be reminded of the beautiful sacredness and power of that gift that our Father has given us, which is our testimonies, how much more great could we be? How much more good could we do? How many more souls would we save?If we all, somehow, could appeal to that which is written upon the heart by the Holy Ghost, I believe miracles will be born.
Love, Sister Colvin
Ps: there are many good people in this world.
