READ THIS PARTHappy Easter!
I've been thinking a lot about my worship of God recently. I frequently ask myself these questions:
-What sign do I want to give to God?
-What would Jesus do? (say to this person, act in this moment, etc)
-What service would I give to Jesus?
-What can I do today to more fully submit my will to the Lord?
-What lack I yet?
Why does asking these questions help us?

They help us prepare to meet God.
We were gifted this time here on earth to become the kind of people that can live with our Heavenly Father again. Because of Justice, we will be restored according to our deeds. Because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, mercy can satisfy the demands of justice! However, if we don't use the Atonement, mercy can have no claim upon us.
Alma 34
16 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.
31 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you.
Part of worshipping God is to always have these things in mind. Constantly pondering about whether what we are doing, saying, listening to, preparing for or thinking about will or will not please God is a form of worship!
The Savior was the best at doing this. He is our perfect example! His worship of the Father was reflected in every action; everything He did was for the glory of the Father. I want to be like that.
As we give our will to the Lord and truly become instruments in His hands, the fewer decibels are required for Him to communicate with us. We will receive more inspiration and revelation and begin to understand the mysteries of God! There is no better way to prepare to return to God than to understand His mysteries!
But of course we must act.
"The more hesitation, the less inspiration" (Elder Neil L. Maxwell, Willing to Submit)
I invite you all to reflect on your life. Ask yourself if God would be pleased with what you are doing now. If not, I encourage you to take action! Where is your soul tilting? Where are you facing? What are you looking at?
As we worship God in this fashion, we will be transformed.
"Trust Him that He will make of you, immeasurably more, than you will ever, ever, in all eternity, make of yourself. He will create a masterpiece. You will create of you only a smudge. You will create an ordinary man. He will create a God" (Lawrence E. Corbridge, The Fourth Missionary)
Don't procrastinate your salvation or waste your potential!
