Behaving like a Child of God

So for some unknown reason, today (when there are so many other things here for me to read -- see previous post!) I have been drawn to "Glimpses into the Life and Heart of Marjorie Pay Hinckley." I've read it often in the past and continue to return to it from time to time. I'm not sure why I am prompted to do that, especially today. But in this book is where I've spent the past hour and this is what I've learned.

As she addressed young adult women, she spoke of spirituality. She said "Sitting in church will not necessarily make you into a Christian anymore than sitting in a garage will make you into a car. I am talking about the kind of spirituality that makes you behave like a child of God. I am talking about the kind of spirituality that breathes reverence into every act and deed. I am talking about the spirituality that makes you loving and grateful and forgiving and patient and gentle and long-suffering . . . . I am talking about the kind of spirituality that compels you to get in touch with your Heavenly Father every single day of your life."

I am feeling empty today for no reason I can find. So I decided to try tonight to prepare to have a wonderful Sunday -- maybe that explains this spiritual pull I'm feeling. Sis. Hinckley always uplifts me and I love her clear explanation of this spirituality I need and want. This is spirituality that changes behavior. I think that's what I am seeking.
