You are what you eat?

“Without a strong commitment to the Lord, an individual is more prone to have a low level of commitment to a spouse. Weak commitments to eternal covenants lead to losses of eternal consequence” – Elder Russell M Nelson SM pg 157

I really liked this quote because it reminded me of something that one of my mission companions had said. He said something along the lines that that which you hate the most or love the most is that which you become. It was something that he had noticed to a degree in some of the people that he had met. I have a testimony of it because he was that which he hated so much. And the funny part was that he would never admit it but he was. The reason that this quote goes so well with what my companion said is because we need to love the Lord with all of our hearts and because we love him so much we will began to have him as a focus in our thoughts and eventually take on his attributes of loving everybody so much. With a strong love and commitment to the Lord we are able to feel charity, the Christlike love that he feels for everyone. And most importantly we will feel it for our spouse.
