Go forward, and not backward.

1-DSC_2927

During my scripture study yesterday I read references that had the word “go” in them and made a list of positive actions associated with it.

We can go

  • forth (Am I moving in a positive direction as time pushes me forward? What are my habits that keep me from moving forward?)
  • down (lots of ideas for this one)
  • and inquire of the Lord
  • over the earth
  • unto your homes (It’s good to be with family. Make it a priority)
  • unto them (focused on others in my goings and comings)
  • speedily (Don’t delay.)
  • up (Simply looking up at the sky can be helpful.)
  • and declare my word (to my family! to my friends!)
  • in (not just on the doorstep of a neighbor or a friend. Find a way into their lives.)
  • up to the temple
  • to, thy faith hath made thee whole (move forward after I repent, make decisions)
  • softly and rejoice (watch my tone of voice and focus on positives)
  • and tell this people (so many good things to tell people)
  • up to the mountain of the Lord
  • forth to them that sit in darkness (to the depressed, the lonely, the displaced, the lost)
  • into the wilderness (for clarity, for a break, to be with family)
  • and teach the word unto this people
  • about (Jesus went about doing good; to me this means he made efforts to be with people. He was out and about, helping the people he saw along the way.)
  • back (is there someone I should go back and visit?)
  • away (lots to walk away from)
  • and inquire (be a good listener and ask questions)

[Friends], shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward, not backward. Courage, [friends], and on, on to victory. -D&C 128:22
