WWJD

I'm revisiting this saying. Alma 4:13 says to suffer afflictions for Christ's sake. What does that mean? I don't know. He had to suffer for everything anyway, regardless of whether or not we do too. Maybe it's something like this: suffer like He did not for him but for us.

I feel animosity toward my in-laws for lots of reasons. But I should suffer or handle the things they do like Jesus would.

Sanctify

How do we sanctify ourselves? D&C 43:16 says that if we do it, then we will be endowed with power and then will be able to give or do whatever he asks us to. So good! So, sanctifying ourselves. There are a few ways from this same section:

1. Treasure up his word (v. 34)
2. Hearken to these words
3. Let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your mind
4. Be sober (35)
5. Keep all my commandments
6. Labor in his vineyard (28)
7. Repent (22)
8. Gird up your loins (19)
9. Lift up your voices and call all nations to repent
