This week, I was asked to lead a discussion at Church about a talk given by Elder Bednar from General Conference last month. The talk is called “Gather Together in One All Things in Christ” and was given during the Saturday morning session.
I really enjoyed studying this talk and wanted to share my thoughts about it. Elder Bednar begins his talk, explaining that a rope is something that we are all familiar with. He continues to tell us that a rope is made up of many smaller pieces that, by themselves, usually aren’t that strong. But, when they are all woven together to create one rope, they become much stronger and can accomplish much more.
Elder Bednar continues by giving different examples of how this can relate to ways we live the gospel in our lives. I really enjoyed reading through and listening to this talk. It made me think of each of us, as members, and how we can be so much stronger and more effective if we strive to work with others. If we reach out to those around us, and offer help to them, while accepting help for ourselves, we can accomplish so much more than as individuals.
This has helped me to look at my own life, and what I can do to be more active with others around me. I know that if I start trying to make changes within myself, I can start to become the type of person that will help lift others during their times of need.
