There is a Primary Children’s song that talks about how the more love we give, the more we will receive. What better love do we have to share with others than the perfect, redeeming love of Jesus Christ? When we share the gospel with others, that is one of the most powerful ways we can help them to have better, happier lives. In addition, our own “love” - in this case, our personal testimony and understanding of the gospel - will grow as we do our best to share what we have with others.
Today, I had the chance to talk with a friend who recently joined the Church. He shared that one of his very favorite things to do is to help the missionaries in his area to teach others about the gospel, and to speak up and share his experiences and his own personal witness about the gospel. There are very few things in this life that can be generated without using up some sort of source - the scientific law of entropy speaks to this effect. This law, however, does not apply to the gospel. When we share with others about our beliefs and help them to gain their own personal witnesses, it is something that only spreads and grows, as those people in turn share that which we have given them with others, and so on and so forth. If everyone could be more like my friend with whom I spoke today, then so many more people would have the opportunity to hear more about the gospel and to come to feel more happiness, comfort, and peace in their lives.
Often, on chat, we will get people who have testimonies that are faltering. Many of them share that they are even reading the scriptures and praying every day, but still don’t feel the Spirit like they feel they once did. Though their could be many causes for such a situation, one suggestion I have for all people in such a position is to attend Church regularly - attending Church is a great chance to share our testimony with others. When we do this, that is something that increases their strength. Like a muscle in our bodies, our faith is strengthened with use, including our personal testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel. Church isn’t the only place when one is able to do this. Never be afraid to speak up to others when a good opportunity arises. If someone is experiencing a particularly difficult time in their life, maybe share with them your knowledge of the power of Jesus Christ’s Atonement, and how it can help us to endure and overcome our struggles. If someone feels that their life no longer has a purpose, or that things never work out no matter what, help them to overcome such discouragement by sharing with them your knowledge of our Heavenly Father’s Plan of Salvation. There is always something that we can share to help others find the answers to these and many other of life’s deep questions. Through such actions, I know that we will each personally be able to grow in our own faith, and help them to each come closer to Christ.

Doctrine and Covenants 18:10, 15-16


10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;

15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!


 16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!
