Week 41: John 14:6

While we were in our lesson with Mark, Bishop said something very profound that I absolutely loved.  He said, "We are today, where we most desire to be."

It really got me thinking about our desires.  Really, everything revolves around desire.  What do we desire to do?  Where do we desire to be?  Who do we desire to be?  When we have righteous desires, we do righteous things.  It's just that simple.  I want to align my desires more to be in harmony with God's way.  I want to more fully desire to love God and keep His commandments.  I want to desire more to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.  It is through Him that we obtain perfection and peace.  We just need to have the desire to follow Him.

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life." (2 Nephi 31:20)
