“Giving Holiness to the Lord” by L. Todd Budge
40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 33
TALK: “Giving Holiness to the Lord" by Bishop L. Todd Budge
JESUS CHRIST:
“As we observe our covenants by sacrifice, we are made holy through the grace of Jesus Christ; and at the altars of the holy temple, with broken hearts and contrite spirits, we give our holiness to the Lord.”
-L. Todd Budge
SCRIPTURE:
“But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.”
-Moroni 7:47
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“In modern usage, the term sacrifice has come to connote the concept of “giving up” things for the Lord and His kingdom. However, in ancient days, the meaning of the word sacrifice was more closely tied to its two Latin roots: sacer, meaning “sacred” or “holy,” and facere, meaning “to make.” Thus, anciently sacrifice meant literally “to make something or someone holy.” Viewed as such, sacrifice is a process of becoming holy and coming to know God, not an event or ritualistic “giving up” of things for the Lord.”
-L. Todd Budge
INVITATION TO ACT:
“The Lord wants us to become holy, to be possessed of charity, and to come to know Him. …Ultimately, the Lord wants our hearts; He wants us to become new creatures in Christ.”
-L. Todd Budge
PROMISED BLESSING:
“When our sacrifices on behalf of others are viewed from the perspective of ‘giving up,’ we may see them as a burden and become discouraged when our sacrifices are not recognized or rewarded. However, when viewed from the perspective of ‘giving to’ the Lord, our sacrifices on behalf of others become gifts, and the joy of generously giving becomes its own reward. Freed from the need for love, approval, or appreciation from others, our sacrifices become the purest and deepest expressions of our gratitude and love for the Savior and our fellow men. Any prideful sense of self-sacrifice gives way to feelings of gratitude, generosity, contentment, and joy.”
–L. Todd Budge
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- What is my definition of sacrifice?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
MUSIC LEARNERS: Listen to and memorize “Give Said the Little Stream” and ponder how it relates to this talk.
MY THOUGHTS:
I love the thought of giving to the Lord— Christ wants me to give to Him my heart— My Savior wants me to give to Him my will— Jesus wants me to give to Him my whole self. And in turn the Lord will help me to become more holy and more like Him!!
