There's a meme going around Facebook, saying
This is Jesus.
Jesus never sins.
Jesus goes doing good things to everybody.
Jesus is smart.
Be like Jesus.
I've tried being a little bit more like that lately. Trying to find people to serve, people to talk to, people to connect to. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? My family is the primary source of service. And of joy.
That's why other people are given. They aren't given so you can go to them periodically and have them tell you how awesome you are. They are given so that you can serve them and love them.
Yesterday, mom was having a hard day. So, I helped her. I bought her food, comforted her, drove for her, and tried in general to serve her. And, despite not accomplishing all of the things I wanted to accomplish, I woke up this morning feeling like a million bucks.
"And behold, I tell you these things that you may learn wisdom, says King Benjamin, That ye may learn that when ye are the in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."
Ought ye not to labor to serve one anther? This is the first semester in a long time where I have a lot, but not too much. And it's fantastic! I can serve others. I can help them out. I can take Thursday off to help mom... so fantastic!
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
That goes both ways. God is equally pleased when we serve somebody and equally hurt when we hurt somebody. DON'T HURT GOD.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, "inasmuch as ye did not not unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it not unto me."
Wow. Very значительно.
I've been guilty of that. That's not real love. Taking advantage of somebody.
You know, I am so grateful for Christ. Sometimes we aren't truly grateful for the Atonement until we really have something to repent of! :)
Get clean, stay clean, and help other people. That's the essence of the Gospel right there.
Стать чистым, оставаться чистым и служить другим. Вот в чём целое
What sort of things does God list for us?
Feed the hungry.
Satisfy the thirsty.
Take in the stranger.
Cloth the naked.
Visit the sick and imprisoned.
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Well... how can I get more of this "service" into my life? Pray for it. It will come. And in the meantime, serve the people around you!
Another realization: What, are you going to spend the rest of your life getting huge and then regretting getting smaller? Be content with what you look like right now! Exercise for the feel-goods and the health, not the looks! That's an endless rat race. I like me, right now. I like the way I look.
Another thing: Domilias needs to be written.
