As with so many other things, sharing the gospel begins with desire. If we are to become more effective instruments in the hands of the Lord in sharing His gospel, we must sincerely desire to do so. I believe we acquire this desire in two steps. First, we must have a firm testimony of the truth and importance of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. This includes the supreme value of Gods plan for His children, the essential position of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in it, and the role of The Church of Jesus Christ in carrying out that plan in mortality. Second, we must have a love for God and for all of His children. In modern revelation we are told that love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify us for the work. The early Apostles of this dispensation were told that their love should abound unto all men. From our testimony of the truth and importance of the restored gospel, we understand the value of what we have been given. From our love of God and our fellowmen, we acquire our desire to share that great gift with everyone. The intensity of our desire to share the gospel is a great indicator of the extent of our personal conversion.
