Attributes of Christ- Dilligence

There is always something that can be done, something that can be learned, something that will stretch the heart and soul of man. Find something that you like to do, and do it well. Search out new things and add them to the things that you are willing to do and do well. 

Being anxiously engaged in a cause; builds the kingdom of God on earth. As one goes about the business of being engaged one gains respect of those that are being served. Testimonies are shared in example, as the tasks that are given are carried out with exactness and honor. All know that the work performed is being done because of the love for the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Everything that is done should be done in the name of Christ. When one is baptized it must be recognized that they are on his errand. Daily priority should serving him in professional daily work, building up the family,  hobbies; these are all opportunities to bring others to the body of Christ. 

Nephi, taught that when one follows after the manner of the Lord the fruits of labor are success. When the labor performed is after the manner of men the spirit is removed and trial ensues. That is not to say that trials wont come when the spirit is being heeded. Often it comes with great struggle and sacrifice to come off conqueror. 
Enos talked of a great struggle he had with the Lord. Alma talks of wrestling with the spirit. 

Now is the time to stand up and do something!
