We are taught to follow Christ for he is the light. He has told us that he is the example that we must follow. We need to strive in all we do to show his light through us and as well be examples to others so they can learn of his gospel and teachings.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
I read this verse and I all of a sudden started singing: I’m trying to be like Jesus. I’m following in his ways. I’m trying to love as he did in all that I do and say. At times I am tempted to make the wrong choice but I try to listen as the still small voice whispers…
I’m trying to love my neighbor, I’m learning to serve my friends. I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again. I try to remember the lesions he taught, then the Holy Spirit enters in to my thoughts saying…
Love one another as Jesus love you. Try to show kindness is all that you do. Be gentle and love in deed and in thought, for these are the things that Jesus taught.
The reason why I typed out the words to the song is because that is really how I feel. All my life I have felt so strongly related to the hymns and songs that we sing, that I can pull a song out for most anything. When I was assistant chorister in my homewards primary for the primary program they sang this song and I was in tears. To hear those little kids sing thoughts word, though they might not fully understand it now, the commitment that they are making, to be like Jesus.
I’m trying to be like Jesus and I am following in his ways. I am trying to love as he did, in everything I do and everything I say. At times I am tempted and I do make the wrong choice but I often hear the Holy Ghost talking to me.
I need to love my neighbor, no matter what and I am trying in that. I am trying to serve my friends. I can’t wait for that great day when Jesus will come again, I wait and watch, and as I do that I think of his lesions that he taught us, I think of the person I am supposed to be and I strive to be her and in all my doings the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts and is always there leading me and guiding me.
I need to love everyone as Jesus has loved me. I need to show kindness in all that I do. I need to be gentle and loving in every deed and every thought, I need to do all these things, because this is what Jesus taught.
He was and is the greatest example, he is my role model and I will forever follow him and forever try to be like him. He was perfect and I know that I am not. My work is never done, but I want to make him proud.
