Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
God wants us to do good, not in grand gestures alone but in the steady pull toward loving Him and serving the people in front of us. When people choose to stand with faith instead of fear, they find that the desire to act with kindness grows stronger and clearer, and they begin to recognize that every nudge toward love and service comes from Him.
Scripture
“But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.”—Moroni 7:13
Quote
“The Lord tells us that when we stand with faith upon His rock, doubt and fear are diminished; the desire to do good increases.”—Henry B. Eyring, “Fear Not to Do Good”

Living the Principle: God Wants Us to Do Good!
- When a thought to help or encourage someone comes to mind, act on it immediately by sending the message, making the call, or offering the help before overthinking it. Treat those invitations to do good as direction rather than suggestion, and let obedience build trust in God’s guidance.
- Choose one situation that usually triggers doubt or hesitation, and deliberately step into it with a simple act of faith, such as bearing testimony, apologizing first, or offering support. Notice how courage grows when action replaces fear.
- Look for one concrete way to serve in your immediate environment, like washing someone else’s dishes, writing a note of appreciation, or volunteering for an unassigned task, and complete it without announcing it. Let love for God shape visible service to others, so faith becomes something people can see and feel.
