Last week in Sunday School (I go to mission prep, by the way, I'd never been before so I thought why not!), my teacher Morgan Godfrey was talking about Captain Moroni's Title of Liberty and asked us to all come up with our own Titles of Liberty. He suggested they be action-oriented statements of how we wanted to live and bold declarations of what we believed. So I wrote it the next Sunday morning so I didn't have as much time to think about it as I would have liked but this is what I came up with.
My Title of Liberty
I am a disciple of Christ.
I will always stand for truth, regardless of the consequences.
I believe, I know, and now I will act.
In defense of my Spirit, I will diligently study the scriptures, learning lessons from a people of long ago.
I will have meaningful and conversational prayer with my Father in Heaven every day so as to stay within the reach of the Holy Spirit so that my footsteps might be guided towards consistent righteousness.
In loyalty to my God, I will go to the temple every week and move forth this work on both sides of the veil. I will keep my body physically fit and my mind sharp and learned so that I might more fully pursue my infinite potential and be prepared to do whatever the Lord asks of me at any moment.
In pursuit of my life's purpose and mission, I will seek to learn from every experience and every trial. I will seek to live every moment to the fullest and love more than my greatest capacity to love. And if I touch but one soul I will have been successful in my quest.
In bold declaration of my faith, I will publish glad tidings and peace. Jesus Christ is our Savior and I know he will deliver me, though the very jaws of Hell gape open, ready to swallow my being, for I am on his errand and nothing can stop this work from rolling forth to the four corners of the Earth. I am ready to stand.
For I am a disciple of Christ.
I will always stand for truth, regardless of the consequences.
I believe, I know, and now I will act.
Amen.
