D&C 7:1-3 -- On Tarrying

"And the Lord said unto me: John, my beloved, what desirest thou? For if you shall ask what you will, it shall be granted unto you. And I said unto him: Lord, give unto me power over death, that I may live and bring souls unto thee. And the Lord said unto me: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, because thou desirest this thou shalt tarry until I come in my glory, and shalt prophesy before nations, kindreds, tongues and people."
Doctrine and Covenants 7:1-3 This seems like such a huge thing to ask... but also cool, to be willing to spend thousands of years being a missionary. Perhaps today we can take some time to ponder that level of committment to the gospel, and renew our own committment to help build the kingdom of God.
