Accountability

Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the mortal body? (Alma 5:15)

We have been given a body. Do we exercise however we are able? Do we look forward and see ourselves as we WILL become? Have we done all that we can to make that final result a reality? Will God agree that we have been good stewards of our own bodies? (He knows about the secret stash of peeps. He knows that I never ate a vegetable regularly before last week. He knows.)

It's easy to become discouraged. I'm the queen of being disappointed with the scale. However, I know the current goals are making a difference. It is reminding me that the every day choices do make a difference and that is how I'll be judged. The desired results will come if I am true and faithful. (Like Joseph Fielding Smith encouraged.)
