The Lord's Workman

In our experiences with the many missionaries here, it have lately developed a thought...

The missionary who is not the natural leader, who realizes his or her weaknesses and who is trying to overcome fears - is more often the one who finds the lost sheep. This person realizes that they are not the exemplary missionary - but one who still lets the Lord lead them and through them touch a spirit, where the powerful and self-assured missionary may fail. It is not the imperfection that brings the one success, nor the finished ability of the other that is the cause of failure, but rather, the Lord knowing who can be lead in a particular situation to touch a heart.

The work is what is important, not the status or ability of the worker. In doing the work, we learn that the hand that guides the work will also perfect the worker.
