What Thinks Christ of Me?

Elder Neil L. Anderson


I watched this talk during lunch today and typed up a few of Elder Anderson's words that struck me and that I wanted to remember...

-Does my life reflect the love and devotion that I feel for the Savior?

-The Lord blesses us with customized direction through the gift of the Holy Ghost

-Discipleship is not a competition at all, but an individual invitation to all.

-His invitation is a call to daily duty

-What would Jesus do?

-Discipleship is believing Him in seasons of peace and believing Him in seasons of difficulty, when our pain and fear are calmed only by the conviction that He loves us and keeps His promises.

-Miracles are not always so immediate. At times we thoughtfully wonder why the miracle we have so earnestly prayed for does not happen here and now. But as we trust in the Savior, promised miracles will occur. 

-Whether in this life or the next, all will be made right. The Savior declares: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

-As you love Him, trust Him, believe Him, and follow Him, you will feel His love and approval. 

-As you ask, “What thinks Christ of me?” you will know that you are His disciple; you are His friend. 

-By His grace He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

-In a future day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is the Christ. On that day, our concern will not be, “Do others consider me Christian?” At that time, our eyes will be fixed on Him, and our souls will be riveted on the question, “What thinks Christ of me?”
