If the Savior came to visit you for just a day or two,
Would you be really comfortable with all the things you do?
Would everything within your home go on the same old way?
Or would you have to change your ways during the Savior's stay?
If the Savior came to your house to spend some time with you.
Would you be prepared to meet Him and a warm friendship renew?
Would you really know Him and long to have Him stay.
Or would you hope that He would wait and come another day?
So you could do the many things that you've been planning to,
But never seemed to have the time or take the time to do?
"If only I had knew that he would come today,
I really would have been prepared." Are these words you might say?
"Please give me but another day and I will use it to prepare,
To read my scriptures faithfully, help those in need and kneel in prayer."
But no one knows when He will come. Not the hour or the day.
And if we are to be prepared we must begin today.
To take upon us our Savior's name, come to know Him and do His will - - -
Look forward to His coming, each sacred scripture to fulfill.
For whether His coming for each of us, is a great or dreadful day.
Will be determined by our faithfulness and how we live each day.
Live As If The Savior Were By Your Side
For twenty four hours live as if the Savior were by your side.
Begin the day with prayer. Thank your Heavenly Father for the example of the Savior in your life. Pray for help throughout the day to live as if the Savior were by your side.
At the end of the day record your thoughts and how you feel as you strive to live as if the Savior were by your side. Determine what you need to do daily to be more Christlike. End the day with prayer and a commitment to always live as if the Savior were by your side. Record your thoughts in your journal
