(Don’t you love computers… I had a new post prepared and lost it. This is an older post, revisited.)
“As we look to Jesus as our Exemplar and as we follow in His footsteps, we can return safely to our Heavenly Father to live with Him forever. Said the prophet Nephi, “Unless a man shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.”(2 Nephi 31:16)~President Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, Nov 2014 p.86
I sometimes find myself not fully appreciating the ‘space’ I am in… having a living Prophet (and other leaders), who earnestly set the example and point the privilege of my agency towards our Redeemer and Savior Jesus Christ. The above quotation was said by our current Prophet in November. A non-member friend reawakened me to the power of this principle… having a LIVING Prophet (even as Moses, Abraham, Alma, Joseph…) in our midst and sincerely valuing what we have in his example and counsel, as if from Christ Himself. kdm
