Come Lord Jesus

D&C 35
26 Lift up your hearts and be glad, your redemption draweth nigh.
27 Fear not, little flock, the kingdom is yours until I come. Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen.

One of my favorite musicals is "Savior of the World" put on every year at the Conference Center Theater in Salt Lake City. In it is a beautiful song entitled "Come Lord Jesus." The worlds beautifully illustrate how the coming of the Savior is a wonderful day to be looked forward to.

The General Women's Meeting today was beautiful. My favorite talk was by Sister Carol McConkie who talked about becoming holy. She mentioned that we must become more holy to better receive the Savior when he comes. Being holy does not mean that we are perfect or sinless. It means that our desires are focused on the Savior. Through his help and atonement we are sanctified. It is a processed that will never be "finished" in this life. We keep working, we keep repenting, we keep trying. And when we do that then we can look forward to the Savior's coming, and like He asks us to, we can "life up [our] hearts and be glad."
