Learn, Live, Share

While pondering at the temple a while ago I was struck by the importance of three words for my life - learn, live, share. Since then I've been surprised to find the same concept mentioned by others. It's an indication to me that this is something I need to continue studying and pondering at this stage in my life.

President Monson at the last general conference taught:

"We are blessed to have the truth. We have a mandate to share the truth. Let us live the truth, that we might merit all that the Father has for us. He does nothing save it be for our benefit. He has told us, 'This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man' (Moses 1:39). From the depths of my soul and in all humility, I testify of the great gift which is our Father’s plan for us. It is the one perfect path to peace and happiness both here and in the world to come."

Sister Carol F. McConkie encouraged the parents and leaders of the Young Women of the church to teach them how to learn the word of the Lord, live it and then share it. The best way to teach is through example.

I came across a devotional address called "The Cycle of Becoming" by Daniel Johnson that mentioned this as well:

"I have chosen to speak today on the cycle of becoming, which describes our progress in this life and, eventually, the kingdom that we’ll choose—one that our Father in Heaven has prepared for us. The three parts of the cycle are learning or knowledge; doing or, in some cases, not doing; and becoming."

I've even found it in ads on my Facebook page!
