“He did deliver me from
bondage” p. 140, Day 7
I
like these words “state of surrender”.
12-9-11 I was
thinking about ‘recording how many times I think about Jesus’ last night as I
was brushing my teeth. I admit I have
not yet done this. Our lesson last Sunday
in Relief Society had a story about a teenage girl who was having trouble
feeling joy in life. She talked to a
mentor / friend who suggested she go throughout her next day as if Jesus were
standing by her. As she did, she found
that she was sweet to people instead of crabby, and she found ways to serve and
lift others which made her happier. My
thought last night was that I don’t think I can separate my thoughts anymore
into ones that are about Jesus and ones that are not. He is too permeated in everything I do. But it seems that if that were the case, then
I should be able to recognize more thoughts about Him but I did not. Right now I am in a place where I’m trying to
sift my time and priorities so that my goals lead me to Him. I have been working so hard on the ‘house of order’
scripture (D&C 188: ) for the past
two years. The promise in that says that
‘all your incomings will be in the name of the Lord, and all of your outgoings
will be in the name of the Lord’. This
is what I am working toward, to completely concentrate my time and talents to
glorify God.
