I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus

I'm trying to be like Jesus
I'm following in His ways
I'm trying to love as He did
In all that I do and say
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice, but I try to listen to the still small voice, saying
"Love one another as Jesus loves you
Try to show kindness in all that you do
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught"
Anyone that knows me understands how I dart about, offering little but confusion to those watching. today, my first time in an unfamiliar building, was no exception. A man stopped me identified himself as security and asked my name. i was somewhat perturbed. Perhaps he was only trying to help. Perhaps he was trying to remove people that weren't supposed to be there. Either way, it tried my patience.
Later, in the temple, i felt a great sense of God's love. I thought of Richard G. Scott's talk where he said

Life may seem difficult now, but hold tightly to that iron rod of truth. You are making better progress than you realize

and simply took comfort in it for my own self. While in the temple chapel today, I really came to see this truth as applied to all of those in that temple that day. So many are making great progress and should be seen as certainly imperfect, yet often a little bit better than they were yesterday, a better person than they were last month, than last year. And if that feeling of love The Lord sent to my heart, allowing me to feel that He possesses towards me. . . Wait!! He really feels that way about everyone?! The man to my right, and the lady behind me. For a moment I saw it again, I understood with my heart and soul. What could have merely been a personal comfort became a vehicle for mercy and love for my fellow man. We feel these incredible emotions and this great love from time to time in our life. The question is, what will we do with it? This segment of Mr Kreuger's Christmas illustrates what I felt that day in the temple.
