Walk where and how Jesus walks!
This week brother Griffin said something that got me reflex ting the whole week. He was quoting someone and he says that the person say : it's not as important to walk where Jesus walked as to walk where he walks. That immediately helped me reflect back to a story in the ensign that I read a few months ago while on my mission. The person who wrote the story said something similar " it is better to walk how Jesus walks than to walk where he walks" both ideas made me ponder about my discipleship with the Lord. Is Jesus Christ my everyday example or do I just read about him and admire him? How do love life in a way where I could see the savior in my countenance? I decides that one of those things I could do is view others through the same scope as my Savior Jesus sees them. For that I would have to be more patient with those who don't always treat me how I want to be treated. Instead of being quick to judge them, I could do as Jesus and forgive them and decide to remember the good in them. In 3 Nephi 12 Jesus states the beatitudes and the blessing of each. Then in verse 16 he said "Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." I have the light of Christ, I have his spirit as my companion and I know as I try to be like him and follow in his footsteps that I will be a testimony of him and my father in Heaven. Then others can recognize him through my example and believe in him. Walking where and how Jesus walks is my strongest testimony to the world that he lives and wants us to be like him. I know I can start today by making small changes and improve. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and know that he lives. This is my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
