More, Savior, like thee.

 
 
As we emulate the Savior, we show our love to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ,
and we become more like Them
 
 
Jesus Christ must become the motivating influence in all that we do.
 
 
There must be more striving within in order to follow the great example set by the Savior if we are to become more like him. This becomes our great challenge.”
 
 
I believe that if we could truly understand the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would realize how precious is one son or daughter of God. I believe our Heavenly Father’s everlasting purpose for His children is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word atonement is the word one. If all mankind understood this, there would never be anyone with whom we would not be concerned, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or social or economic standing.
 
 
We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind,
indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others.
 
 
He who is without sin may cast the first stone.  He was without sin and He did not……  
 And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
 
 
More holiness give me, … More sorrow for sin, More faith in my Savior, … More joy in his service, More purpose in prayer. More gratitude give me, More trust in the Lord, More pride in his glory, More hope in his word, More tears for his sorrows, … More meekness in trial, ... More purity give me, … More longing for home. More fit for the kingdom, … More blessed and holy— More, Savior, like thee.
