"Spare Not"

Open your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as Nephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.
 Yea, open your mouths and spare not, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your backs, for lo, I am with you.
Doctrine & Covenants 33:8-9

          When it comes to sharing the Gospel, do you select some to share the Gospel with, and “spare” others because “They’re not the type” or “I bet they wouldn't be interested?” Maybe you have been so selective that you haven’t been sharing the Gospel much at all. The scriptures here are saying to “spare not”! It is not for us to decide who to share the Gospel with and who to spare. How many of us have seen people whose lives changed dramatically through the Gospel of Jesus Christ? If someone doesn't seem like the “LDS type”, then good; they need the Gospel even more.  President David O. McKay taught, “The purpose of the gospel is … to make bad men good and good men better, and to change human nature.”

Today’s Takeaway: Who have you been “sparing” from the Gospel? Why spare anyone from something so amazing? Make a list of people you may have overlooked to invite to a Church activity or Church meeting. Consider who you could share a pass-along card with. Like verse 8 says, open your mouth and it will be filled. Be on the lookout today.
