Motions of a Hidden Fire
By President Jeffrey R. Holland
April 2024
Doctrine and Covenants 112:4-5, 14
I was struck by this when elder Holland said he'd been admonished to be more. I guess we all need to be more our whole lives.
My seminary teacher gave a lesson on "endure to the end". We were each given a piece of modeling clay, told to close our eyes, and shape something that represented us. Questions about time limit were asked. He said he'd stop us when it was time. We could quit whenever we wanted to.
Our teacher then began teaching to a class full of kids playing with clay with our eyes closed. Slowly, people started saying they were done. I thought maybe I was done but ice always been a believer in using all the time you have during a test. When the teacher said stop, I was ready. One other person said, "wait!". We were the only two of 30+ kids that used all of our time. We had "endured to the end".
That lesson has always stuck with me. It reminds me that I'm never done.
