Presidency Message by Marty Rozeski
Taken from www.lds.org - I Was a Stranger
“In a world of constant change and commotion, we
may often feel like strangers. All around us we hear
of distress, tragedy and hardship. We live in a time
of uncertainty and unrest. Many around us live in
fear of an unknown future. What can our role as
women be in the last days to prepare the earth for
the coming of Christ? What can we do to reach out,
to love, to nurture, and to minister as He has invited
us to do?
We each have the invitation as women and young
women to open our eyes and our hearts to see
those among us who feel alone, afraid, or uncertain
so that we are no longer strangers (see Mathew
25:35-36; Ephesians 2:19). We are invited to share
our love, our confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and our hands to strengthen others and love them
as the Savior would have us do. This is not a
program; it is who we are.
With our divine nature as women, we can be a light
in a darkening world. We can give hope, love, and
care to those around us. We are not asked to ‘run
faster than [we have] strength’ (Mosiah 4:27).
Although we can work together, we are each asked
to seek personal revelation about whom the Lord
would have us strengthen and love as individuals
and as families. The Savior invites us to remember
His words: ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these…, ye have done it unto me’
(Matthew 25:40).
The errand of angels is given to women;
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim;
To do whatsoever is gentle and human,
To cheer and to bless in humanity’s name.
(“As Sisters in Zion,” Hymns, no. 309)
