“Perhaps, like Amulek, you know in your heart that the Lord has ‘called [you] many times,’ but you ‘would not hear’ [see Alma 10:6].
“Nevertheless, the Lord sees in you what He saw in Amulek—the potential of a valiant servant with an important work to do and with a testimony to share. There is service that no one else can give in quite the same way. … Listen with your heart and follow the promptings of the Spirit” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Learn from Alma and Amulek,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2016, 73).
“There are many many upright and faithful who live all the commandments and whose lives and prayers keep the world from destruction” (Spencer W. Kimball, “Voices of the Past, of the Present, of the Future,” Ensign,June 1971, 16).
