The Living Christ

I'm LDS.

Latter-day Saint

Mormon

On Sunday night, I attended the General Relief Society meeting for our church. All women, ages 8 and up are encouraged to attend. Members of our leadership address us to uplift and inspire. A lot of what they share is repeated doctrine, and yet it is always something I need to hear. 

Aside from all that I learned that night, one goal I have is to memorize the document, The Living Christ. 

In college I took a class on the Family and one of our assignments was to memorize "The Family-A Proclamation to the World". I did that. I memorized the document without much thought.

Today, almost 10 years later, I can recall most of the words found in the proclamation. I truly believe that when we memorize something--especially something we know to be true--we will be able to recall that "something" when we need it, or when it applies to us in certain situations. Thus, my desire to memorize another lengthy, but important document that I know is true.

The Living Christ document is all about Christ. I know that as I come to memorize that document, I will be able to know more about Christ and the life he led, and thus draw closer to Him. I feel like that is my goal each day--as I try to do better than the day before--to be more Christ-like. While I study this document, my thoughts will naturally turn to Him and I know it will make a positive difference in the way I live my life, talk to my husband and children, and in every other aspect of my daily routines.

I know Christ can change us for good.

I need change.
