"What Lack I Yet" , January 1, 2017

Thank you Suzi J. for the wonderful discussion using the talk "What Lack I Yet" given by Larry R. Lawrence in Oct 2015 General Conference.


Matthew 19: 16-26
 16 ¶And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt lovethy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 ¶Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Suzi asked us to list things we wished we were better at:
Wake up at 6
Be more organized/patient
Don't compare self to others
Check instagram less often
Read more to kids
Exercise more
Don't complain as much
Write in journal regularly
etc...

She then went on to explain that we can make a long list of how to improve ourselves,
But what WE need to do is ask God specifically what "I" should do.
She challenged us to ask the Lord to inspire us on one thing we can work on.
