While attending a funeral, it’s natural to wonder what your own might be like.

After a recent funeral, I started to think:

What will people say about me?

What kind of life am I living?

What kind of legacy will I leave behind?

I want to be a force for so much good in the world.

I want to proclaim my testimony boldly and arrive in the next life exhausted from doing my best.

The Lord says:

“For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you;

“yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you,

“and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name’s glory.” (D&C 21:6) 

THIS is the kind of impact I want to make!

Dispersing the powers of darkness!

Causing the heavens to shake for my good!

So, what do I need to do to have this kind of legacy?

Right before this verse, the Lord tells us the key:

Follow the prophet.

Sometimes, it’s easier to follow the prophet’s counsel and other times it takes a lot more humility and prayer.

But when I do my best to stick with what the prophet is teaching, I have felt power flowing into my life.

If I am looking for darkness to disperse and for the heavens to shake for my good…

Then I want to stick with the prophet.

Happy Studying!
