Steadfast and Immovable

Mosiah 5
The saints become the sons and daughters of Christ through faith—They are then called by the name of Christ—King Benjamin exhorts them to be steadfast and immovable in good works. About 124 B.C.

King Benjamin sends out messengers to find out what his people thought about his talk. They all agree that it caused them to have a "mighty change of heart" that they desired to "do good continually". I think that's because they experienced feelings of charity, the pure love of Christ. When I'm having a rough time with someone, I try to imagine what they looked like as a little child, then I think of the love Christ has for all of us and I project that on to the person. Usually, that seems to eliminate all my bad feelings. I think we're all like little children in God's eyes. We're just learning to walk, stumbling, but trying. Anyway, that's how I try to use charity in my life.

Then in the last verse he talks about being steadfast and immovable. That impressed me. I admire people who are like that. Maybe that's one of the hardest principals to live, to be consistently good.
