My focus lately has been, 'being one with Christ.' Always asking (every minute) what thought would Christ have right now (then listen), what would Christ do in this situation (then listen), would Christ talk to that homeless person (then listen), are my prayers meaningful (then listen), am I showing gratitude for this beautiful planet (then listen), do I need to do more in magnifying my callings (then listen). And on and on. These questions and listening to the answers have brought me closer to always having the Spirit to be with me. Staying focused on the Atonement and what it means.
I love this gospel!!! Before I was baptized four years ago I definitely had times when the 'light of Christ' helped me get through hard times but the Gift of the Holy Ghost is sooooo much more. I FEEL the difference in my day to day actions. Jesus Christ is my constant companion and I am so thankful that I am weak enough to need Him in my life!
