Come Unto Christ Program-Week 2
Last week I shared that I recently came across a program in my files that I wanted to share with you. I am not sure who originally put this together, so if you know, please drop me a line so I can properly credit them.
This program is a personal one, and I have it printed on index cards with a cover and it is bound together by a metal ring in the corner.
I am sharing this over two weeks, so this doesn't get too long. This can be started at any time, and you will do it for 14 consecutive days. At the end, you will be closer to your Savior. This is week two of this program.
Come Unto Christ
A FOURTEEN DAY WALK WITH CHRIST
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will com in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
~Revelation 3:20
Day 8 Forgiveness
Challenge:
Pray to Heavenly Father about some weakness and ask for help in overcoming it.
Scriptures:
D&C 64:10...I the Lord will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.
D&C 58:42-43...Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins-behold, he will confess them and forsake them.
Thought:
"Remember - it is Christianity to DO GOOD always, even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbor as our self, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving...If we do this...we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in Peace."
~Charles Dickens
Day 9 Always Remember
Challenge:
As you partake of the sacrament make a special effort to think about the Savior.
In the choices you make today ask yourself, "Do I have the moral courage to make my actions consistent with my knowledge of right and wrong?" Do you "Always remember Him"?
Scripture:
Mormon 9:29...See that ye partake not of the sacrament of Christ unworthily, but see that ye do all things in worthiness, and do it in the name fo Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God; and if ye do this, and endure to the end, ye will in nowise be cast out.
Thought:
"The Savior's spiritual suffering and the shedding of his innocent blood, so lovingly and freely given, paid the debt...for the sins and sorrows and pains of all the rest of the human family."
~Jeffrey R. Holland
Day 10 I Am of Infinite Worth
Challenge:
Tell yourself that you are beautiful and are of great worth to your Father in Heaven.
Make a list of things you would like to accomplish in your life.
Scriptures:
D&C 18:10...Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.
1 Samuel 16:7...the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Thought:
"I have to live with myself, and so-I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye.
I don't want to stand with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf, A lot of secrets about myself."
~E.A.Guest

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
D&C 115:5...Verily I say unto you all, arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations.
