Ministering vs Administering:
Our salvation is dependent on the intent of our hearts. We must have pure motives!
Alma is a great example of how to have love as the motive:
Alma 31:
32 O Lord, wilt thou comfort my soul, and give unto me success, and also my fellow laborers who are with me—yea, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and also Amulek and Zeezrom, and also my two sons—yea, even all these wilt thou comfort, O Lord. Yea, wilt thou comfort their souls in Christ.
1. --> He prays for people specifically by name!
33 Wilt thou grant unto them that they may have strength, that they may bear their afflictions which shall come upon them because of the iniquities of this people.
2. --> He prays for the strength to bear afflictions, instead of "asking amiss" for the removal of trial.
35 Behold, O Lord, their souls are precious, and many of them are our brethren; therefore, give unto us, O Lord, power and wisdom that we may bring these, our brethren, again unto thee.
3. --> He sees people as souls of an omniscient Father in Heaven.
These steps can help us avoid falling into our own personal pride cycle--doing the right things for the wrong reason (pride). This helps us 'retain a remission of our sins' and always be filled with the love of God.
This is especially important in missionary work because the minute we fall into the personal pride cycle--seeking KIs, approval from others etc--God can no longer use us as an instrument in his hands.
小心一點，慢慢走~ (Be careful and walk slowly)
