“God loves us as we are, but He also loves us too much to
leave us this way. Growing up unto the Lord is what mortality is all about.
Change is what Christ’s Atonement is all about. Not only can Christ resurrect,
cleanse, console, and heal us, but through it all, He can transform us to
become more like Him. Forsaking sin and having no more disposition to do evil,
but to do good continually are lifetime pursuits. Life is like a cross-country
road trip. We can’t reach our destination on one tank of gas. We must refill
the tank over and over. Taking the sacrament is like pulling into the gas
station. As we repent and renew our covenants, we pledge our willingness to
keep the commandments, and God and Christ bless us with the Holy Spirit. In
short, we promise to press forward on our journey, and God and Christ promise
to refill the tank.” – Bradley R. Wilcox
