People, Not Contacts

I need to network more.

I need to minister more. Every 'contact' is somebody's whole world.

Networking widens the net for your benefit; ministering widens it for theirs — and ends up building the stronger network anyway, as a side effect. Treat people as family and connections take care of themselves.

Use it when: Career networking, new wards, LinkedIn fatigue.

Backed by: Mosiah 2:17 — service to your fellow beings is service to God. That turns every name in your phone from an asset into a stewardship. 1 John 4:20 — you can't claim to love God while writing off the person in front of you; loving "his brother whom he hath seen" is the only proof of the love you can't see.

What He’d say

When you serve them, you're serving me. Every name in your phone is somebody's whole world — and mine. Treat them like family, and the connections take care of themselves.

(His words from the passage above, spoken to you.)
