How would it be to walk with Christ?
.
I often try to visualize what it would be like if I walked along side the Savior. What would I ask Him? Would I talk too much or would I just listen to Him? Would He talk to me or would He want for me to engage and drive our conversation?
.
There are so many questions I have for Him, not questions that question His Gospel, but more clarifying questions. I visualize myself understanding His responses and listening intently like a little child—eager to listen and learn.
.
There are many things I simply don’t understand at this point in my life. I’ve prayed for many things and have faith they will be answered at the appropriate time.
.
I have asked Him things in my youth, and I am just now receiving answers to them. Again, the Lord doesn’t always provide the answer to your demand when you want Him to. Everything is at His time, and His timing is perfect.
.
I imagine my time being a time of peace and purpose. I visualize my fear being gone and my time with Him being complete joy and happiness.
.
I visualize Him comforting others and me wanting to do the same.
.
Brothers and Sisters, as the New Year approaches, try to visualize what the year would be like if you walked with Christ every single day.
.
I honestly believe as we visualize great things, great things come to pass. He may not be physically or visually present, but He is with you and His spirit is guiding you.
.
Make Him part of your daily routine. Think of Him as you rise in the morning, as you drive to work or other activities, and as you spend time with your families, friends, or as you’re by yourself.
.
As we include Him in our everyday routine, He will teach you how to walk like He did. You’ll have a burning desire to walk like He did. You’ll become more like Him.
.
I’m grateful for my Savior and my time I spend getting to know Him more and more. He loves us.
.
Hear Him!
