My heart is full.
Recently I have met some truly amazing people who have been a light and beacon in my life to guide me to coming to closer to my Savior.
One in particular has opened eyes to so many things. When I first met him I thought he was just another one of the party guys. We ran into each other a few times on campus but never really hung until a couple weeks ago. Since then my life has been enrichedly blessed.
Mind you I did have to remind him the importance of being a gentleman, like opening the door for a lady ;). But he has taught me so much more.
Tonight he reminded me of what it really means to be a disciple of Christ. He talked of how important it is that we remember that gossiping, back biting or thinking low of others are ways in which we sin but we always think to look at those who drink or swear or watch inappropriate things are actually doing worse. But who is living the greater sin? I hope we can all reevaluate and seek to speak only the best of others.
But what touched me most was his testimony of love and service. I have always said that I love people and I want to serve them but he reminded me that I still have much more to give. He testified today of how he thinks real love is when you are willing to give up some of your own blessings to others who are in need. When you want others to reach success even if means succeeding you. He has become this in so many ways, he serves others in many ways that some might not see. He is an example of charity, the pure love of Christ.
As he testified my heart was touched so deeply. I could feel his love and desire to be a servant of our Savior. I felt privileged to be sitting next to someone who is striving to become more like Christ. He shared this video with me today, check it out! I hope we all can seek to find the good in others, to speak good things of them and find ways in which we can serve.
