After bearing witness of who He was and of His mission, Jesus invited the multitude—all twenty-five hundred of them—to come unto Him “one by one.”(3 Nephi 11:15) That same day He healed the sick and afflicted one by one. (3 Nephi 17:9) He later “took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed . . . for them.” (3 Nephi 17:21) He ministered to and ordained the twelve disciples one by one. (3 Nephi 18:36)
No matter the size or composition of your organization, it will always be a collection of individuals. Regardless of the quorum, class, team, or organization—church or otherwise—focusing on the progress of individuals will lead to greater achievement and more joy. This principle applies in every setting. In church, we can think of it as looking at each individual and determining the next ordinance that they need to continue their progression on the covenant path toward eternal life with a loving Heavenly Father. Outside of church, it can mean helping others achieve their potential. It always requires a caring focus on the one.
