On the way home from church on
Easter Sunday, I had a CD playing in the car. My son, Cael, went to turn
it up and said he wanted it louder because "It's beautiful music about
Jesus, and I love Jesus. I'm a big fan of His." Of course, this made me
chuckle at his choice of words (We obviously love sports at our house!), but as
I have reflected on his simple comment over the last month, I have come to see
how important it is that we ARE big fans of the one who gave all that we might
have all. With this in mind, we, as a family, compiled a top-ten list of how we
can show how much we love our Savior, Jesus Christ.
1. "Say a prayer."
-Cael
2. "Serve others."
-Paul
3. Wear His jersey, or in other
words, bear His name as witnesses of Him, at all times and in all things and in
all places.
4. "Do anything he wants us
to do." -Cael
5. "Treat people with
kindness." -Paul
6. Hold up signs proclaiming
our love: Testify of Him, in word and in deed.
7. "Listen to His
prophet." -Paul
8. Read and study His playbook,
the scriptures, to give us direction and answers.
9."Imitate His life, just
like you would imitate a favorite player." -Paul
10. Believe in Him and in His
promises to us, that we will win if we follow Him.
I know that if we will do our
best to emulate Jesus Christ, He will draw nearer to us and His spirit will
direct our lives more fully. May we ever be unashamed to declare that we
are not only His biggest fans, but that we truly are His dedicated followers.
