"If performed in the right spirit, there is no higher worship than
the unpurchased service to another soul of whatever faith, belief,
or social stratum. The Savior of the world said it simply, 'Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me' (Matt.
25:40)." - James E. Faust, "A
Second Birth," Ensign, June 1998, p. 5

"People will be happy to about the same degree that they are
actively involved in trying to help others. This truth is tied to
the Savior's teaching that 'inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me' (Matt.
25:40)." - LeGrand R. Curtis, "Perfection:
A
Daily Process," Ensign, July 1995, p. 33

"When we get emotionally and spiritually involved in helping a
person who is in pain, a compassion enters our heart. It hurts, but
the process lifts some of the pain from another. We get from the
experience a finite look into the Savior's pain as He performed the
infinite Atonement. Through the power of the Holy Ghost, a
sanctification takes place within our souls and we become more like
our Savior. We gain a better understanding of what was meant when He
said, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.' (Matt.
25:40.)" - Glenn L. Pace, "A
Thousand Times," Ensign, November 1990, p. 10

"The sweetness of true Christian service is often experienced in
obscurity--in quiet rooms in homes and hospitals and places of
confinement, in military barracks and refugee camps, and in other
places far from public attention. Usually it is unheralded, but it
reflects the standard set by the Savior for those who will 'inherit
the kingdom prepared . from the foundation of the world.' (Matt.
25:34.) These are they who serve the hungry and the thirsty
and the naked and the homeless and those who are sick or imprisoned,
and who do this after the pattern and in the spirit of him who said,
'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.' (Matt.
25:40.) To those who so serve he promised eternal life (see Matt.
25:46), while to those who fail to minister to the needy he
said, 'Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me.' (Matt.
25:45.)" - Marion D. Hanks, "The
Royal
Law of Love," Ensign, November 1988, p. 63

Being
a refugee may be a defining moment in the lives of those who are
refugees, but being a refugee does not define them.
Like countless thousands before them, this will be a period—we hope a
short period—in their lives. Some of them will go on to be Nobel
laureates, public servants, physicians, scientists, musicians,
artists, religious leaders, and contributors in other fields. Indeed,
many of them were these
things before they lost everything. This moment does not define them,
but our response will help define us. – Patrick Kearon, “Refuge
from
the Storm,” Ensign (CR) May 2016
