On Saturday night I was heading into the store to pick up some supplies for dinner. I saw my friend Andy Nelson loading up his car with some groceries so I went and said hello. After a brief exchange I asked if he would be teaching on the next day. I thought it was his week to teach gospel doctrine and sure enough it was. After confirming that fact he mentioned a talk that he would be sharing in his lesson by Elder Renlund in October 2009 conference. He said it was excellent and had to do with our hearts. I attended his class yesterday anticipating some discussion of this talk. The lesson talked about the people of King Benjamin turning their hearts to God and Andy tied this message from Elder Renlund in beautifully. It was powerful and brought to mind just how important it is that we stay focused daily on the things that lead us towards the Savior.
I listened to the talk in full this morning. It is powerful and has such an important message. Tonight we listened to it for Family Home Evening and then had a great discussion about the need we have to do things each day that help us keep our hearts turned to the Savior. Below is a link to the talk by Elder Renlund. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
In listening to it myself I see there are areas in my life that I can improve upon and be more diligent in. I don't want to find myself being complacent or thinking I have done enough and can now relax my efforts to live the gospel.
