D. Todd Christopherson, talk from October 2010 General Conference
Life offers 2 precious gifts:
1. Time
2. Agency
We should consecrate these 2 precious gifts to the Lord.
One way to do that is through Purity....living a pure life. The Savior was the perfect example of a pure life. Be submissive, repent and put off the natural man.
Another way to consecrate our time and agency to the Lord is through Labor...a hard day's work. There is virtue in hard work, especially in the service of others. Along with work, find the time to enjoy leisure. Find good, wholesome activities that can bring you closer to your friends, family, and the Lord.
Respecting our Physical Bodies...this is one more way we can give of our time and agency. When we are healthy, we are in a better position to serve our fellow men, and in turn, serve our Lord and Savior. It's not just about NOT putting bad things in our bodies, but putting the GOOD things in our bodies as well.
As we work to live a pure life and consecrate our time and agency to our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, our choices will be guided by the Savior.
Thank you to Rachel Besinger for sharing this wonderful lesson with us.
