Many times it's easier to say you will die for something or someone, but what are you willing to live for? Are you willing to live for christ? Do you honestly live your life in harmony to the gospel of Christ? Do you serve, sacrifice, love, and put others first? Do you live your life the way the savior lived his?
Lately I have been looking at my own life I always thought I was doing a good job at living my life in harmony of the gospel. I thought I was putting the Lord first in my life. I thought I loved others the way the Lord wanted me to. Recently I have realized that I have been doing the bare minimum when it came to serving others around both in the church and my own family. I had been doing the minimum when it came to my callings in the church.
I want others around me to know the savior because they knew me. What does that mean to live our lives in such a way that others know the savior because of me? It means realizing it is more important to say sorry than to be right. It means to put others before you especially when it hard to do so. It means to love unconditionally no matter how the other might treat you. To sacrifice your wants for the greater good. To pray to be used to build God's kingdom on this earth. It means to not judge another because you don't know why they do what they do, instead love them and pray for them. Ask for forgiveness when your own heart is breaking because of how they treated you. It means always doing the harder things in life because it's what Christ would do. Truly living our life the way Christ lived his in service to those around us.
Living for Christ will always be the hardest thing we could ever do, but there's nothing more rewarding we could live our lives. Nothing that will have more of an affect on this earth. Dying for Christ is easy, but living for him is harder but more rewarding. So let's all live our lives for our Savior.
