On Being Uplifted
Church was incredible today. Here are some random notes and thoughts I had while being spiritually fed. They may not mean anything to anyone else but they changed me.
-Everyone that Jesus Christ met He made feel important and loved. He wasn't rushing from one thing to the next. He took care of people and loved them.
- Life is like a stage. We all have an important role to play. What character or role has the director or Heavenly Father assigned to me? Am I fulfilling that role? How can my character improve the play and add to it as a whole?
-Act! don't be acted upon
-Live today like it is an important day. Because it is.
-Be Happy!
-Give your best personal self to those that you love.
-Be of good cheer. Do not fear. Trust in the Lord. He knows what He is doing.
-Take what life throws at you and use it for your benefit and the benefit of others.
-You cannot become stronger with out resistance.
-Like Nephi and his family we are going to have to go throw the wilderness to get to the promised land.
-Be grateful (specifically) for ALL things! Not just the good, But also what we see as the bad. It may possibly be the good. Just hidden.
-Our goal is not just for us to come unto Christ but to become like Him. This is a whole new level. A level that requires effort and sacrifice. The gospel becomes worth it and important to us as we sacrifice and work for the testimonies that we have.
-The Gospel is a lifestyle.
-When you look back you realize that the hard times were actually the good times. The hard times are when you create strong and meaningful relationships. When you learn what is worth learning. When you find out who you are and who you can become. When you are strengthened. The hard times are when you become. The good times are easy to forget. But pushing through and triumphing through the hard times are moments you will never forget and they are the moments that define you.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to go to church every week and to learn and be uplifted.
