But I knew that it wasn't enough. I had to do something more, because it wasn't these little things that had taken me to where I was. Honestly they aren't bad things that I am going to be changing. It was really more like a reorganization of my time. But I knew that there was something fundamental that I have to work on. So I thought about it a little bit more, and thought that maybe I need to do some more service. Think a little bit more about the people around me and what I can do for them instead of being so focused on myself.
So, last night I knelt down and prayed. I talked about the changes that I wanted to make, and then asked if they were right. I didn't feel too much in the moment, just a small feeling of peace.
Then today was stake conference. And it was almost entirely focused on serving others. So, I am just going to paste the few notes that I took here.
Why should we want to be successful? Why do we want to help others? Is it because we want blessings for ourselves, or is it because we truly love them? Do we want to be successful for our own glory, or so that we can better lift our brothers and sisters?
"I boxed for eight years, and I've never seen anything as competitive as ultimate frisbee." Does our love extend farther than just Sunday?
Worthiness is based on three relationships:
Our relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost
Our relationship with others
Our relationship with ourselves
I've been invited to:
Ask God in humble prayer how I can change to become a better disciple of Christ
Repent and make the change
Get yourself spiritually prepared and serve others. That's everything!Anyway, that is about as clear of an answer as can be expected, I think. I'm going to do my best to look for more opportunities to serve others, and to take advantage of them in these upcoming weeks. I'd encourage you all to do the same!
What can I do to be more spiritual? The answer is always the same: Do more service!
