"As we engage our faith and commit our energy to draw closer to Jesus Christ, we begin to understand more fully who He really is. As we seek Him diligently, we gain a deep and abiding testimony of His matchless love, His perfect life and example, and the blessings of His great atoning sacrifice. As we draw nearer to Him, we truly begin to find Him and to recognize Him as the Creator of the earth, the Redeemer of mankind, the Only Begotten of the Father, the King of kings, the Prince of Peace."--Craig C. Christiansen
For the next couple of days, we're going to take apart this quote and examine the pieces. For today, let's talk about the first part: How do we "seek Him diligently?" One way is through prayer. When we pray to the Father through the Son, we gain a greater appreciation for Christ as our Mediator to the Father.
Another way to "seek Him" is by studying His life. Through study, we learn that Christ was not about grand gestures, but focused on small acts that had grand results. Most of us will not have the opportunity to perform grand gestures, but we can each make small acts.
Joy for today: seeking Him diligently.
