Mormon 9:28

So the other day is seminary we finished Mormon and we were asked to illustrate a scripture we liked and one that stood out to me was 28 Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God. I love that first of all, Heavenly Father has made it so easy for us to run ourselves of sin through repentance that all he has to say is "strip yourselves of uncleanliness", because it really is that easy. This scripture is really basic guidelines to live your life by. Yield to no temptation, don't give into your lustful thoughts, and serve the true and living God. I find something beautiful and thought provoking about the words "living God", you think that because he is in heaven that he isn't living when in reality he's living right along side us everyday. It really comforts me to know how much he is there to be by my side whenever I need him.
