The Returned Missionary
By Elder L. Tom Perry
October 2001

What we need is a royal army of returned missionaries re-enlisted into service. While they would not wear the badge of a full-time missionary, they could possess the same resolve and determination to bring the light of the gospel to a struggling world to find its way.

I call on you returned missionaries to rededicate yourselves, to become re-infused with the desire and spirit of missionary service. I call on you to look the part, to be the part, and act the part of a servant of our Father in Heaven.

I pray for your renewed determination to proclaim the gospel, that you may become more actively engaged in this great work the Lord has called all of us to do.đź©·đź©·

As I reflect on my life, I realize that the gospel has never been just a list of things to do or rules to follow. It has been a guide, patiently helping me become a little better than I was yesterday. There have been moments when I felt discouraged by my weaknesses and shortcomings, but Heavenly Father has never expected instant perfection. Instead, He invites me to keep growing, keep learning, and keep coming unto Christ.

What gives me hope is knowing that God sees more in me than I currently see in myself. When I make mistakes, He offers repentance. When I feel weak, He offers strength. When I feel lost, He provides direction. The gospel is evidence of a loving Father who is not only concerned about where I am today but also about who I can become through His Son.

I am grateful that Heavenly Father does not give up on us. Through Jesus Christ, we can change, improve, and become more like Him over time. Every prayer, every act of faith, and every effort to follow the Savior is part of that sacred journey. And what a comforting thought it is to know that God is helping us become the people He knows we can be.

There have been times when I knew what was right, but my heart was not fully open to it. Sometimes pride, disappointment, or the desire to hold on to my own way made it harder to feel the Spirit. Looking back, I can see that whenever my heart became less teachable, the Lord did not move further away from me. I simply became less able to recognize His voice and the blessings He was trying to place in my life.

One thing I have learned is that a softened heart invites revelation. When I choose humility over stubbornness, forgiveness over resentment, and faith over worldly distractions, I become more aware of the Lord's presence. The scriptures speak more clearly, prayers become more meaningful, and I find greater peace in my daily life. It is amazing how much light can enter when we open our hearts to God.

I believe one of the greatest prayers we can offer is, "Lord, soften my heart." As disciples of Jesus Christ, we do not need to be perfect, but we do need to remain willing to learn, repent, and follow Him. When our hearts are open to the things of God, He can fill them with truth, peace, and a love that the world can never give.

As I get older, I find myself thinking more about the things that truly matter. Success, possessions, and achievements can bring moments of happiness, but they never fully satisfy the deepest desires of the heart. What I long for most is lasting joy and the assurance that the relationships I cherish are not meant to end at the grave. That hope has carried me through difficult days and reminded me that this life is part of something much greater.

One of the most comforting truths of the gospel is that Heavenly Father's plan was never just about helping us survive mortality. His plan is centred on joy, both now and forever. When I think about being with my loved ones eternally and knowing that families can continue beyond this life, my heart is filled with gratitude. It reminds me that God's promises are far more beautiful than anything the world could offer.

Whenever life feels heavy or uncertain, I return to that hope. Because of Jesus Christ, happiness is not just for a moment, and love is not meant to be temporary. God has prepared something far greater than we can fully imagine. His plan is a plan of joy, and every step toward Him is a step toward the eternal happiness He desires for all His children.

Following Jesus Christ has never meant walking only on easy roads. There have been times in my life when choosing faith felt lonely, when doing what was right was not understood by others, and when answers to my prayers did not come as quickly as I hoped. In those moments, I have learned that discipleship is not just about following the Savior when the path is bright. It is about trusting Him when the road leads through tears, uncertainty, and heartache.

Some of the most sacred experiences I have had did not come during seasons of comfort, but during seasons of struggle. When I felt weak, the Lord became my strength. When I felt alone, He reminded me that He was near. Looking back, I realize that He never asked me to walk a path He had not already walked Himself. The Savior understands sorrow because He carried it. He understands loneliness because He felt it. And because of that, He knows exactly how to help us through our own difficult days.

That truth gives me courage. Even when the journey is hard and faith requires sacrifice, I want to keep following Him. The world may not always understand, and at times the path may feel lonely, but any road that leads me closer to Jesus Christ is a road worth walking.

There may be people who quietly step away, carrying burdens that few others know about. Maybe life became complicated. Maybe disappointments, mistakes, or personal struggles created distance. I think many of us can relate to moments when we felt like withdrawing, hiding our hearts, and trying to figure things out on our own. Yet the beautiful truth of the gospel is that the Savior never stops reaching for us, even when we feel far away.

What touches me most is the reminder that we are not only needed because of what we need from Christ, but also because of what we can contribute. Every person has a testimony, a gift, a perspective, or a light that blesses others. The Church is not a gathering of perfect people. It is a place where imperfect people come to be strengthened by the perfect Savior. When someone is missing, their absence is felt because they matter.

If your heart has ever felt distant, please remember that Jesus Christ still knows your name and loves you completely. There is healing in His Atonement, hope in His gospel, and a place for you among His people. You are not forgotten, you are not beyond His reach, and you have more to offer than you may realize. 🌻

Scriptural Reflection: Philippians 4:13

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Life often places challenges before us that feel bigger than our ability to handle. There are days when we feel weak, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what lies ahead. In those moments, Philippians 4:13 reminds us where our true strength comes from.

This verse is not about relying on our own abilities. It is about trusting in the power of Christ. When our strength runs low, His strength remains. When our courage fades, His presence sustains us. What seems impossible through our own efforts becomes possible when we walk with Him.

God never promised that life would be easy, but He did promise that we would never face it alone. Christ gives us strength to endure trials, wisdom to make difficult decisions, and faith to keep moving forward when the path is unclear.

The burdens you carry today may feel heavy, but you do not carry them by yourself. The same Saviour who calmed the storm is able to strengthen your heart. The same Lord who guided His disciples is able to guide you.

If you feel weak today, pause and pray:

“Lord, thank You for being my strength. Help me trust in You more than I trust in myself.”

May this verse remind you that your strength has limits, but Christ's strength never does. With Him beside you, you can face whatever lies ahead with faith, courage, and hope.

One lesson I have been trying to learn is that helping others does not always require a grand gesture. Sometimes it is a simple text message, a few minutes of listening, or noticing someone who seems forgotten. I have had days when a small act of kindness from another person lifted a burden I was carrying, and I often wonder how many opportunities I may have missed because I was too busy or too focused on myself to truly see someone else's need.

I've noticed that when I pray for Heavenly Father to help me see people the way the Savior sees them, my heart changes. Instead of asking, "What do I need today?" I begin asking, "Who needs encouragement today?" The answers are not always dramatic. Often they come as a quiet impression to reach out, check on someone, or offer a kind word. More often than not, those simple promptings lead to meaningful moments that bless both of us.

The Savior never looked at people as problems to solve. He saw them as individuals to love. I believe that as we seek His help, He can open our eyes to the needs that surround us and soften our hearts to respond with compassion. There truly are countless ways to lift others, and some of the most sacred experiences in life come when we allow the Lord to love His children through us. ❤️

One of the things I am still learning is that being a disciple of Jesus Christ is about more than believing in Him. It is about becoming more like Him. There have been moments when I wanted to defend myself, hold on to hurt feelings, or respond out of frustration. Yet when I think of the Savior, I am reminded that He always chose the higher way. He lifted when others criticised, encouraged when others discouraged, and loved even when it was difficult.

I have noticed that some of the most Christlike people I know are not necessarily the loudest or most recognised. They are the ones who bring peace into a room, who listen before speaking, who build others up instead of tearing them down. Their influence is powerful because it reflects the Savior's example. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, and every effort to heal rather than divide helps bring a little more light into the world.

The older I get, the more I realise that peacemaking is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of spiritual strength. It takes faith to be gentle in a harsh world and love to respond with grace when it would be easier to react in anger. I pray that my words and actions will point others to Christ, because true disciples do more than talk about peace. They create it. ❤️
