Draw Close to the Lord
During our young adulthood and throughout our lives, our closest and choicest association should be with the Savior. He sets the perfect example of a true friend. He possesses charity and long-suffering for our shortcomings; He offers gentle and sometimes strong nudgings to follow Him; He is patient and kind but firm in His commands; He wants the best for us; and He helps us achieve our highest potential on earth and in heaven.
He is also unwavering. There will be times when, despite our best efforts, we will struggle to find close associates who share or respect our desires to live the gospel. We may be in circumstances where there simply are few people with common values or interests. Our efforts to develop friendships may be rejected. We may be faced with cultivating new relationships as we make our own personal changes. Throughout these times, the Savior stands steadfast with us as we stand steadfast with Him. He will see us through storms and through calm.
We are true disciples of Jesus Christ when we live His commandments. And we are true friends to others when we make it easier for them to do so too.
