The Pure Love Of Christ.

With experiences I've been going through this last month, I have struggled, but have come to know the pure love of Christ. Christ knows us perfectly, and is always knocking, he wants to be our best friend. Whenever we are ready to reach for the door and let him into our lives, he is there. But we have to reach.

How can we obtain the pure love of Christ, if we have not suffered, the pain of everyone, like he has, and felt the joys of everyone, and the trials of everyone.

By coming to know Christ, we can obtain this same pure love. It is through Christ that we are made whole, by coming to know Christ and serving him we can come to have his pure love.

This is why I want to serve a mission for this wonderful church. I want to serve Christ, by serving his people. By doing this, I will come to see others through the Saviors eyes.

In all honesty, I think this is what life is all about, is learning to love, and serve as Jesus loved and served us. There is a quote that hangs in the wall of my sister's room that says I have sent my greatest among you to serve you. Now I am no greatest! This is not what I am saying at all, however, I want to become like him who is the greatest, this is my ultimate goal in life and all eternity. To love as Jesus loved.

I've heard that sister's have a hard time letting go of investigators who are unwilling to commit. This is where trusting in Christ comes in to play. A lot of times I trust in myself, and this is something I'll have tried to learn to do, and will continue. Relying less on myself, but more on Christ. Sometimes, the best thing to do is the hardest, like letting go of someone you have served for a period of time, like an investigator. However, like heavenly Father let us go to earth to make decisions our self, there comes a time when we must also let others go like investigators, and loved one's who make wrong decisions along the way, and turn them over to Christ, leaving them with your love and the understanding that you are there for them, whenever they are ready.

This has bits and pieces to do with a man I loved and had to let go of. I really did love him, but when their decisions, confuse you so badly, that is when it is time to turn them over to Christ, again with the knowledge that when and if they are ready, you are there to be their friend.

This I know to be true, and my testimony on this is only beginning to sprout, and my words are very mumbo jumbled. But here we go.
