Bullion

source

I have reflected on repentance and thought of the sin that through repentance flavored my sin filled life and while it taught me so much it also changed me. In cooking, bullion has a place and time but for not all things. Beef or chicken bullion would corrupt a cake quickly as would a sin filled life corrupt my spiritual knowledge and experience. I thought of that all day and have thought how I can be more Holy as the Savior is holy. Certainly time cannot be erased but sin can. I need to make a better effort to be a better man so I will further be proud of the Gospel of Christ. Each day I attempt to seek the Lord's forgiveness, turn to Him in prayer and read the scriptures. God help me I am trying to be like Jesus as the song says. I fear that like a top spinning that it gets harder and harder the older I get, however teaching primary has kept it simple enough for my heart to understand moreso the gospel and has been a real teacher to me. I want my bullion to be of gold and not of beef salt. That means looking for fervently to the Savior in all His examples.

Sin and the natural man are so eager to polyte our experiences so it troubles me that at times I have become as flavored salt and not as pure salt. Not to say that the recipe that is my life is spoiled but perhaps I have prevented some experiences from occuring because of my weakness. I just thank God that He has been so kind in giving my Redeemer and that the option to be pure allows my book of life, my recipe truly can be complete.
