Invitation:

Look for opportunities this week to help a potential “eleventh-hour hire” to experience the joy of laboring in God’s vineyard. Help them see that anyone who runs the race wins. Remind them that the Lord loves effort!

“We do not obtain our heavenly reward by punching a time clock. What is essential is that our labors in the workplace of the Lord have caused us to become something. For some of us, this requires a longer time than for others. What is important in the end is what we have become by our labors. Many who come in the eleventh hour have been refined and prepared by the Lord in ways other than formal employment in the vineyard” (Dallin H. Oaks, “The Challenge to Become,” Ensign, November 2000).

“We ought not to think of God’s plan as a cosmic vending machine where we (1) select a desired blessing, (2) insert the required sum of good works, and (3) the order is promptly delivered.” (D. Todd Christofferson, Gen Conf, Apr 2022)

“With this unique capability and emphasis on the worth of souls in the sight of God also comes the opportunity for confusion. We live in a materialistic world. Some become confused and seek identity through riches or the accolades of men. The Savior makes it very clear in his teachings that it is not possible to realize the identity of which I speak through such means.” (Victor L. Brown, 1983)
