Always Remember Him

Remembering and forgetting are part of life and part of our spiritual life.

The Lord’s hand is often seen clearest in our life in hindsight.

Life is understood backwards but it must be lived forward.

Once we repent and priesthood leaders declare us worthy we don’t have to keep confessing and confessing.

{In times of high stress and emotion} we need to remember what to hold on to and what to let go of.

4: Remember that He always welcomes us home.

I missed that this was a list. I want to see what the first three points were specifically.

5: We can always remember Him on the sabbath through the sacrament.

6: Our Savior invites us to always remember Him as He always remembers us.

Each week, in partaking of the sacrament, we covenant to always remember Him. Drawing on the nearly 400 scripture references to the word remember, here are six ways we can always remember Him.

First, we can always remember Him by having confidence in His covenants, promises, and assurances.

The Lord remembers His everlasting covenants …

The Lord remembers His promises …

Second, we can always remember Him by gratefully acknowledging His hand throughout our lives.

The Lord’s hand in our lives is often clearest in hindsight. As Christian philosopher Søren Kierkegaard put it: “Life must be understood backward. But … it must be lived forward.” …

Third, we can always remember Him by trusting when the Lord assures us, “He who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.”

When we remember His words and example, we will not give or take offense.

Fourth, He invites us to remember that He is always welcoming us home.

Prophets ancient and modern implore us not to let human foibles, faults, or weaknesses—others’ or our own—cause us to miss the truths, covenants, and redeeming power in His restored gospel.

Fifth, we can always remember Him on the Sabbath through the sacrament.

Finally, sixth, our Savior invites us to always remember Him as He always remembers us.

The scriptures describe resurrection as “every limb and joint shall be restored to … their proper and perfect frame,” and “even a hair of the head shall not be lost.” That being so, please consider how it is that our Savior’s perfect, resurrected body still bears the wounds in His side and the nail prints in His hands and feet.

He based those marks because the marks of crucifixion are a sign of His perfect offering that brought us the possibility of exaltation.
