How, then, are we to answer God’s call? Formerly, people of long ago actually strove to gain the priesthood; now, though, priesthood is the portion of all God’s people. Are we, in the end, to push it away from us? What the children of Israel had lost long ago can now be regained by us. Shall we today make worthless the service of God in our hands? Some may serve God as though saving His face and doing Him a favor, but we must see that being allowed to serve God is actually His favor to us. People who do not see the glory of God will count and recount the cost. But if they once see the glory of serving God, they shall climb up to Him and kneel before Him to serve. All who stand afar off do not know the grace of God. But all who know God’s grace and know themselves will count no cost at all in serving Him. Count the cost if you want to be a disciple (to go to heaven, not hell), but once knowing God's way and joy, count not the cost for no cost could be too great to do God's will! Amen.
