23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
24 And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
24 And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
This scripture gives a recipe for how we should live our life each day. Being Humble and submissive and gentle, I interpret this as someone who is kind, who is not selfish. Patience; have patience with your family. Sometimes it is easier to be nicer to our friends than our own family. Diligence in keeping the commandments; do your very best to keep all of the commandments not just the ones that are easy for you.
I like the part of this scripture that says ask for what ever things we need. We are being invited to ask for help with whatever we need. Personally I need help with alot of things that are in my life. But I have faith that Heavenly father hears me and wants to do what is best for me, knowing that, gives me hope. We should not forget charity the pure love of Christ, try to see others how Christ would see them then we can feel love for that person even if it is your brother or sister. So do something today for someone else.....abound in good works.
Have a great day today.
Love, Sister Madsen
