Amulek

I have been thinking a little bit about Amulek.

He was not what we'd think of as an "active member of the church" but I assume that for the most part he was righteous. Then he saw an angel. It didn't tell him to repent; only to go and feed someone. The Lord trusted Amulek to do as he was commanded. from that point forward Amulek testified of the goodness and power of God. There were still many things he learned but he went and did whatever the Lord asked him and had great faith.

I want to be like that. I want the Lord to trust me enough to say "go and help this person" and know that I will do it. Amulek had to sacrifice everything he had (he was forced to flee the city and then it was destroyed) but he never complained. His faith is an inspiration to me.
