In Mathew 18: 1-14, we are instructed to become as little
children. Christ explains that children are the greatest in the Kingdom and we
need to humble ourselves as they are humble. We should not become offenders and
should never “offend one of these little ones which believe in ‘Christ’”(vs 6).
It is better to sacrifice our weaknesses now so we have the chance to make it
in the Celestial Kingdom. The greatest in the kingdom of heaven are those that
are humble.
In D&C 78: 17-18, The Lord tells us that we are like
children and do not yet understand all the blessings that the Father has
prepared for us. We cannot bear that knowledge yet but we are told to be of
good cheer. The Lord will lead us along and all of those great blessings will
be ours.
Mosiah 3:9 says, “Salvation might come unto the children of
men even through faith on his name”. If we want to become humble as little
children, faith is the key and this needs to be practiced daily. I have been
struggling with my faith for a long time now. I have always had faith in the
Lord but I just felt like I would never get answers and I tried to be happy but
I could not be as happy as I used to be. I am constantly struggling in my life
but today, I have felt a change in my life. As of yesterday, I realized how
much faith I have in the Lord. Reading these scriptures just now were an answer
to my prayers. I know that Heavenly Father has plans for my life and I can
trust him whole heartedly. I love my Savior and I hope to always be humble
before him. I know that this gospel is true with all of my heart. I know that
Christ loves me and if I ever stray as the lost sheep did, I can see the savior
in my life always trying to find me and never giving up.
