A theme that I have noticed more and more in General Conference and devotionals as the years have gone on, is the need to be steadfast and endure. As the world gets crazier, it is harder to stay strong. We are easily swayed and doubt is easily placed when we are not doing everything we could and should be doing in the Gospel. I'm no different. I struggle. I have a hard time making the right choice sometimes. However, I know that is a whole lot easier to make the right choice when I have been doing the right things.
In the readings for class this week, we read the book of Galatians. While I was reading, one verse jumped out at me. It is along the lines of what I was just talking about. Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
I love this verse! It is such a great reminder that Christ suffered everything for us to let us be able to choose. He fought for our agency. We should remember that, be grateful for that, and be inspired to be better by that. I love how at the end it calls to us to not get twisted up in the things that hold us back from progressing in the gospel. We must keep moving forward, towards Christ and our Heavenly Home, and we will be blessed.
