What Would Jesus Do?

Dear readers,
I'm so sorry I've slacked on writing, life is so busy! However, I've been thinking hard about what to write and today something hit me! I really can't even explain the Love I have for God's children, it's insane. I know I'm not perfect in this aspect, but I do know that I'd sacrifice myself to help a friend in need. I don't have all the gifts I'd like to have, but I have been blessed with the ability to love God's children, regardless of their backgrounds and I have a hard time understanding the fear people have of loving everyone and going the extra mile for your fellowman.Part of God's plan is for us to become as He and our Savior Jesus Christ are. We are striving to be Christlike in all that we do. So I invite you to ask What would Jesus do in this situation???
As part of the Christian world, this quest to walk as Jesus would walk is not always easy, but it will be worth it!
My heart bleeds for those in circumstances that they have not chosen and it aches more when the surrounding people are just waiting and watching for them to fall, instead of putting their selves out there to help these brothers and sisters of ours find their way! If we really believe what we say we believe, then I believe we would be jumping at every opportunity we have to bring another soul unto Christ.
"But if I get involved, then I might have to do something I don't like." "It won't really make a difference anyways, it's not my concern." "I have my own family to worry about, I don't have time to get involved." "I'll donate materials, but I can't go over and help them." "It's their own fault they are in that situation."

WAKE UP PEOPLE! It's time to step up to the plate! The worth of every soul is great! Get out of your bubbles and do some labor right beside them! LOVE is spelled T-I-M-E!! Charity is the pure love of Christ! Get comfortable with the uncomfortable and realize that it is such a privilege to help our fellowman. Regardless of their situation, it's not our place to judge, but it is our place to be ready to teach and support them as Christ would.
President Uchdorft said,"But when it comes to our own prejudices and grievances, we too often justify our anger as righteous and our judgment as reliable and only appropriate. Though we cannot look into another’s heart, we assume that we know a bad motive or even a bad person when we see one. We make exceptions when it comes to our own bitterness because we feel that, in our case, we have all the information we need to hold someone else in contempt.....This topic of judging others could actually be taught in a two-word sermon. When it comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting to cause harm, please apply the following:

Stop it!

It’s that simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts and feelings with a heart full of love for God and His children. God is our Father. We are His children. We are all brothers and sisters. I don’t know exactly how to articulate this point of not judging others with sufficient eloquence, passion, and persuasion to make it stick. I can quote scripture, I can try to expound doctrine, and I will even quote a bumper sticker I recently saw. It was attached to the back of a car whose driver appeared to be a little rough around the edges, but the words on the sticker taught an insightful lesson. It read, “Don’t judge me because I sin differently than you.”"

The Atonement of Christ is REAL and people can and will change, but it takes many hands to make a burden light. It's going to take true Christians to bring people unto Christ.
"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. the world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
- LDS Prophet, Ezra Taft Benson

I've seen the true gospel of Jesus Christ change men and I've seen changed men change the world. I know this is possible, but it takes time, it takes sacrifice, and yes it takes inconveniences.. but the Lord will bless us for our efforts and He will provide away for His will to be accomplished. Sometimes to be an instrument in the Lords hands we have to put ourselves out there with a willing heart and mind, ready to jump at the opportunity to bring souls unto Christ! I love the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, I believe with all my heart that it can and does change the hearts of men. When we are in a sticky situation, we need to ask our selves, what would Jesus do? I know that in that simple phrase, we will find all of our answers.
