"Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth abeset you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism."
Alma 7:15
What strikes me today as I read this is that our relationship with God is a committment. It isn't just a one way thing where God helps us and get a perfect life... he does help, but our lives are supposed to have trials, and dedication to God also requires a committment from us to work at keeping the commandments, at living a good life. We don't have to be instantly perfect, of course, but we're committing to do our best, and prioritize God in our lives.
Today, let's remember to work on our committment to God, and put in some effort in doing as he asks, even if it is just a small thing as we start out. Read a few verses of scripture (as above), say a prayer. ... The little things accumulate, and, with God's help, assist us in becoming better, and learning more--little by little, leading to a better future with God.
