Dallin H. Oaks
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
From "Unselfish Service," Ensign, May 2009, 93–96.
In partaking of the sacrament each week, we witness our commitment to serve the Lord and our fellowmen.
Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.
We are happier and more fulfilled when we act and serve for what we give, not for what we get.
Jesus taught that we who follow Him should be precious and unique, to shine forth to all men.
