Not One, Not Mine

D&C 38: 27

"I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine."

Why is it that it is so hard to accept this doctrine? It is so much easier to look out for number one. Even though we have seen in our lives how banning together and becoming one can truly benefit us we still choose to look out for ourselves.

What I think it is is fear, we fear that if we don't look out for ourselves then we might lose out on something but we are promised differently in Matt 10:39 "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it".

If we could just put aside our own desires and look to giving all that we have to God and serve His people we will be able to obtain oh so much more.
