When the Savior of the world called the fishermen to leave the nets and follow Him, He saw their potential. He didn't choose them for their righteousness or their current commitment to living an extraordinary life. The Savior knew what they could become if they were obedient to His word. The creator of the world who organized the elements began to mold and shape these rough pieces of clay into powerful tools in His hands.
Like then, the Lord doesn't choose the greatest, most knowledgeable or least sinful to do His work in our day. He chooses those with willing hearts. Sometimes we receive a calling somewhat unwillingly but if we put our trust in Him, the experience will be for our benefit.
Too often, members of the Church look at callings as a benchmark of achievement. That is a philosophy of man however. We absolutely cannot look at the kingdom of God on the earth with an ordinary human mentality. In the business world, a person often starts at the bottom of the pecking order and rises to higher positions with years of effort and dedication. The church is far different. The Lord leads men and women from one experience to another to help them grow individually, not to achieve a grand calling.
It amuses me that some people consider the calling of Bishop and Stake President an elite calling. I know of no more difficult callings in the church than such leadership roles that requre so much time and mental, physical, and emotional effort. The Bishop gives hours of service each week, usually at the expense of his family to assist the members of his ward. He deals with persons in his ward who experience crises, who need money or food and those who complain. The Bishop is responsible for keeping order in the ward, ensuring that ordinances are performed properly, conducting meetings with other leaders in the ward as they watch over the flock, and being involved with the young men program. A stake President has the obligation to counsel and assist the many Bishops within the stake to perform their tasks appropriately. I get tired just thinking about all they are responsible for.
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf remarked, "In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we do not seek, nor do we decline, callings that come from God through inspired priesthood channels." 1
We do not seek them to gratify our vain ambition but to build up the kingdom of God and give honor and glory to His name.
Elder Holland spoke of the great sacrifices we are called to make in service to our Lord. He said, "I testify of the need to protect and preserve them [family relationships] while we find time and ways to serve faithfully in the Church. In what I hope are rare moments when these seem to be in conflict, when we find an hour or a day or a night of crisis when duty and spiritual prompting require our response, in those situations I pay tribute to every wife who has ever sat alone while dinner got cold, every husband who has made his own dinner, which with him as cook was bound to be cold anyway, and every child who has ever been disappointed in a postponed camping trip or a ball game a parent unexpectedly had to miss (and that better not be very often!). I pay tribute to every mission president and his wife, their children, and every senior couple called to serve with them, and all others who for a season miss births and baptisms, weddings and funerals, family and fun experiences in response to a “call to serve.” I thank all who, in challenging circumstances across the Church, do the best they can to build the kingdom of God on earth."2
May we ever serve with humility and a desire to honor our God with pure intent!
My Wild Ride: How a Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech Helped Me Recover Lost Bitcoin of 103,000
It all started when I had the misfortune of misplacing the digital wallet containing my substantial cryptocurrency holdings – a staggering 103,000 bitcoins. I had amassed this sizable fortune over the years through strategic investments and careful trading, but in a moment of carelessness, the private keys to my digital wallet had vanished. Panic set in as I grappled with the gravity of my situation – those bitcoins, worth millions at the time, were effectively lost to the ether, inaccessible and seemingly unrecoverable. Just when I had resigned myself to the devastating financial blow, a chance encounter with a self-proclaimed “digital wizard” Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech presented a glimmer of hope. This enigmatic individual, who operated in the shadowy corners of the crypto underworld, claimed to possess the arcane knowledge and skills necessary to retrieve my lost digital wealth. Intrigued and desperate, I put my skepticism aside and entrusted this mysterious wizard with the task. What followed was a wild, suspenseful journey into the depths of blockchain technology and cryptography, as the wizard navigated complex algorithms, exploited vulnerabilities, and pieced together the puzzle of my missing private keys. After days of intense effort, Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech emerged triumphant, having successfully recovered the entirety of my 103,000 bitcoin stash. The sheer relief and elation I felt in that moment was indescribable, as I regained access to my small digital fortune and was able to secure my financial future. This harrowing experience taught me the invaluable lesson of never taking the security of my cryptocurrency holdings for granted, and the importance of always maintaining the utmost diligence when it comes to protecting one’s digital wealth.

I’M Bayani Althea I’m from the Philippines but i reside in Canada. I was in total dismay when I lost my entire savings investing in cryptocurrency, I was contacted online by a lady through email pretending to be an account manager of a bank, who told me I could make double my savings through cryptocurrency investment, I never imagined it would be a scam and I was going to lose everything. It went on for weeks until I realized that I have been scammed. All hope was lost, I was devastated and broke, fortunately for me, I came across an article on my local bulletin about CYBERSPACE HACK PRO Bitcoin Recovery, I contacted them and provided all the information regarding my case, I was amazed at how quickly they recovered my cryptocurrency funds and was able to trace down those scammers.

Hello to everyone around the globe. I’m Jefferey Vargas from Malta. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence. I strongly encourage everyone here to reach him for help via email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you WhatsApp this number +1 (807) 907-2687.
