Have you ever watched as two magnets forcefully fling together as they draw close to one another?
My son loves magnets. We have hundreds, if not thousands, of magnets all over our house. You can almost constantly hear the “cling” of two magnets snapping together.
It took a while, but I have learned to love this clinging sound.
You see, while reading a book with my son about magnetic force we learned that two objects containing charge with the same direction of motion have a magnetic attraction force between them.
I was struck with the similarity to a scripture I had just read in the Doctrine and Covenants:
“Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.”
Just like a magnet, if we actively (don’t forget the fact that motion is involved) push our spirits towards the Savior, He will also actively push towards us. Forcing us together. Allowing us to cling to Him for greater strength.
Now each time I hear a “cling” I ask myself what is something I can actively do in that moment to draw closer to the Savior; knowing that as I work towards Him, He will also work towards me. And just like our many magnets, I will become stronger when clinging to Him.
What can you do right this moment to actively draw closer to the Savior?
I promise as you do, He is drawing closer to you too. The closer you get I promise you will find strength in Him. Strength greater than even the strongest magnet.
