Following Christ requires constant effort and continual change. We need to “[put] off the natural man and … [become like a little] child.” This includes putting our “trust in the Lord” and letting the complexity go, just as little children do. Applying the doctrine of Christ in a simplified and focused way will help us to find joy in our daily lives, give guidance in our callings, answer some of life’s most complex questions, and provide strength to face our greatest challenges. – Michael Cziesla, “Simplicity in Christ,” Liahona (CR) November 2025
