He Hath Filled the Hungry with Good Things

“Succor. Do you know its meaning? It is used often in the scriptures to describe Christ’s care for and attention to us. It means literally ‘to run to.’ What an absolutely magnificent way to describe the Savior’s urgent effort in our behalf. Even as he calls us to come to him and follow him, he is unfailingly running to help us” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Come unto Me” [Brigham Young University fireside, March 2, 1997)

“To succor means to ‘run to.’ I testify that in my fears and in my infirmities the Savior has surely run to me. I will never be able to thank Him enough for such personal kindness and such loving care” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “He Hath Filled the Hungry with Good Things,” Ensign, Nov. 1997)
