Humbleness is the Key to Life

This week I've learned more about humility. It says in Preach My Góspel that ¨humility is willingness to submit to the will of the Lord and to give the Lord the honor for what is accomplished.¨

"Änd again, I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long’ suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.

And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.¨ Mosiah 4:11-12

Being humble is a powerful attribute. Everyone loves being around those kind of people. If someone is humble, they usually also have several of the other Christlike attributes, like Charity, Love, Patience, Endurance, etc. We are God´s children, and when we humble ourselves, that´s when we can open our eyes, and see the great plan of Heavenly Father, in spiritual eyes.

That´s another thing, looking at the world in spiritual eyes is also important. If we are in the world, focused on the world, we look at life from the worlds perspective. And that is when Satan blinds us. We need to be active in the góspel to look at everything in spiritual eyes, and then we can be choosing the right paths, and know of a surety, why we do the things we do. These thoughts might be a little off the chart, but I hope you can understand what I´m trying to explain!

This week really just flew by fast. There were a couple of days that I rather forgot we were zone leaders. It´s only when I see other missionaries that I realize, öh, I have to be a leader and be the example. Haha! We´re hoping to have two baptisms at the end of this month, named Jose Luis and Juana Angela.

Things are going pretty well, I keep on learning more, and just hope I can apply it all in my life. Wherever we are in the world, the time just keeps on ticking by unstoppable. I just hope we can all learn and do what we need to, in preparation of the Second Coming. Love you all TONZ, and hope you have a fantastic week!
Love,

Elder Russon
