Clean Thoughts and Actions

Our actions are first lead by thoughts. Due to human nature we will tend to do the things that we think of.Its simple, Bad thoughts lead to bad actions. Good thoughts lead to Good actions. One simple thing to remember is that our Actions will be only as clean as our Thoughts.
This topic has definitely lead to some thoughts. One thing that came to mind was how easy my life would've been if I had just made better decisions. As I sat down and thought about this topic " Clean Thoughts lead to clean Actions" I felt that before I did act upon the things I did, I first thought of doing it.
I guess my entry for today is that we will first think about something before doing it. My thought to the frequently said quote " I didn't think before I did it" is not really true. Everything we do goes through our mind to the rest of our body. So before we actually do something, the thought of "should we I do this or not" doesn't necessarily come to mind all the time. But the thought that our mind knows everything we do just before we actually do it is definitely true.

Which means we NEED to constantly be thinking of good thoughts. As our thoughts are based off of righteousness our Actions will lead to righteousness. As we are constantly applying the doctrine of Christ into our lives we will gradually grow into having the habit to have good thoughts. It is a promise from the Lord that as we keep his commandments that he will have his spirit to with us. As his spirit is with us it will be a constant reminder of good thoughts. Faith without Action is Dead. When our Actions are not clean our Faith is not well shown to the World.
My love is to all of Gods children and along with this love is an invitation. An invitation to constantly have your thoughts center on the Lord Jesus Christ and his Atonement so they may lead to clean and righteous Actions. I promise that as you do these things you will always have nothing but good things to ever remember in your life. I testify that the as the Prophet Joseph Smith received his first vision that he thought many things. And those thoughts lead to great actions and great results. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
