What we do allows the Atonement of Jesus Christ to change us into what we must be.
-President Henry B. Eyring
I love that. I love the Atonement. I love my Savior. I love the knowledge I have. I love that I can become what I must be.
We are here to change. We are here to become what we must be. We are here to return.
President Eyring's pray was 'Heavenly Father, it doesn't matter what I want. I don't care anymore what I want. I only want that Thy will be done. That is all that I want. Please tell me what to do.'
Are we willing to have this same prayer? Are we truly willing to do whatever He asks of us?
Are we willing to put aside any wants we have? Are we willing to put aside what we think is best?
I ask myself these questions. And I answer the way any of us would answer.
But then I think....
Why is it so hard to do my visiting teaching? Why is it so hard to remember my morning prayers? Why do I wait till 2 am to do my scripture study when I know I won't get much out of it?
And then I think how willing am I?
The natural man is a hard thing to fight. I'm so grateful the Lord is patient.
I hope you have a great Sunday.
