following Him

Tender mercy from the Lord! Seeing this mother waddling across the road with her flock in tow. Just as these little babies followed their mother off to safety we too should follow our Savior Jesus Christ into safety. 

 Just merely having faith in Jesus Christ is not enough. We must pattern our lives around His and become like Him!  " 'Come, follow me,' the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own loved, begotten Son." (Come Follow Me.)  So where do we start?! What do we do?

 "The restored gospel enables you to become like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Savior has shown the way. He has set the perfect example, and He commands us to become as He is (see 3 Nephi 27:27). Learn of Him and seek to incorporate His attributes into your life." (Preach My Gospel chapter 6)

He has many attributes that make Him unique and set Him apart. Among these are patience, charity and love, humility, diligence, hope, virtue, and many many others. It may seem like we can not become perfect in all of these aspects, but I know there is a way. The Lord would not command us to do things He didn't think we would be able to do.  As we pray for, seek out, learn about and apply each of these attributes we will indeed become more like our Savior.  We must not give up hope! We must not think its too hard, but remember that we "develop His attributes one action and decision at a time." (Preach my Gospel chapter 6)
