On Monday Mom and I went to the Single Adult Home Evening. The lesson was on Keeping Covanats. Brother Lyle used Presidnet Uchtdorf's Message from a receint Ensign. You will all remember the story of the two brothers playing at a lake in the summers as they grew up and wanting to jump off a cliff into the water. They would always deside that next summer would be better. Then one time the got ready to jump and one brother said we should wait until next year, the other brother was already moving forward and his momentum was taking him over and he said "Brother, I am Committed". Of cousre they both had a great time jumping from the cliff. His message is that if we are moving forward doing the right things we also are committed.
My feeling that there are a few things we must be doing, that are essential for us to be committed to the Gospel; Daily scripture study, daily personal and family prayer and constant attandace at church. When we let one of these slip satan finds ways to lead us away.
I have a testimony that when we are studying the scriptures, praying and attending church the spirit can and will lead us to make needed changes in our lifes so that we are following the Savior better and better, which is essential to bring us to exaltation.
