What Does Jesus Christ Want Me to Do?
Have you ever said an unkind word to someone and then wished
that you had not? Have you ever hurt someone’s feelings because you didn’t
think carefully before you acted? Do you ever feel uncertain about what you
should do when someone wants you to do something you know is wrong? Have you
wondered what you should do when someone hurts your feelings? In all of these
situations, thinking about Jesus Christ can help you.
Matthew 5:43,44 Ye
have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate
thine enemy. 44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
It is easy to do
things that hurt others or ourselves when we do not think carefully before we
act or when our minds are full of anger, fear, or confusion. Because our
actions follow our thoughts, thinking about Jesus Christ can help us. Thoughts
of His life, His example, and what He wants us to do can calm our minds and
help us make righteous choices.
As you think
about the Savior, ask yourself, “What would Jesus Christ want me to do?” Answering
this question will help each of us follow Him and choose the right.
The Savior loves
us and wants us to be happy. He wants us to be kind, loving, forgiving,
helpful, obedient, honest, and thankful. When we do these things, we are
keeping His commandments. Following the example of Jesus Christ will help us be
happy.
Matthew
11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Pastor Rolando Ramos
