So, because we went to a different ward on Sunday, the lesson was on our testimonies of Jesus Christ, again. We again talked a bit about how others don't always perceive us as being Christians. The question was asked, "What would you say to these people?" There were many good answers, but I thought, "What could I be doing that would make it so people didn't have to ask? What actions on my part would make it so people would know of my feelings about Christ just by being with me? What does being Christian look like?" If I can answer these questions, then I also keep my covenant that I make every Sunday during the sacrament, to take His name upon me. It all fits!
So . . . I come back to my resolution to talk of Christ everyday. I've done it once or twice in the last week. I am nowhere near my goal. But, if I spoke of Christ, no friend would wonder if I was a Christian.
After that comes do I forgive? Am I tolerant? Do I serve? (I could do this better.) All this can be encapsulated in the question, "How well do I love those around me -- be they who they may?"
