What does Jesus Christ mean to me? I feel like that's the whole point of this blog for me. It's to help me remember Christ every day. I do my best to say my personaly prayers every day, and to pray with my husband in the morning and at night. I've been lacking on my scripture study and that's why I started up this blog. To use it as a journal for my daily study.
But even with this blog on here, I get distracted. I still forget to post. A lot of times I remember I need to post, but then don't find time to do it. I don't want to feel rushed in putting something on here, and I don't want it to feel like a chore. Sometimes it does, and I feel guilty. It isn't a chore to think of and honor Jesus Christ. It's a priviledge. It's a blessing that I live in a free country where I can post something religious. Where I am free to attend whatever religion I choose to. Where I can talk freely about religion. a lot of people in this world don't have that opportunity. I do.
When I read about events and trauma going on in the world, even in this country, it helps me take a step back and realize how blessed I am to have the life I have. How little my trials are, and how the are manageable compared to some that other people are going through. I don't know why I was blessed to be born into such wonderful circumstances, but I feel like because I have been given so much, I have a lot I need to give back to Heavenly Father. And I know the way to give back is to help out others while I'm here. To be the example I need to be to others. To learn and grow from other's experiences and situations. I have my life for a reason, and I need to make the most of it. That doesn't mean go out and travel and do all these things that would be "big" by the world's standards, I think it means all the little things that add up. The friendships I make. The daily lessons I learn. All those add up in the end and portray who I really am. Especially what I think and how I act when I don't think anyone is watching, or listening.
Jesus Christ gave up his life so that I could live mine. I hope I live up to that potential.
