Follow Me.

In the intensely individualistic society in which we live, people are generally looked down upon if they fall into the category of follower instead of leader. American culture is void of the sense of family and camaraderie found in other nations such as those in South America and in Asia. Reflecting on that, I find all the more significant the call of the Savior to follow Him. After imploring of Simon Peter three times "Lovest thou me?" and finally eliciting the humble response "Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee," he commanded Peter saying "Follow me."

Many Americans unreasonably feel they have been blessed through education with a heightened sense of moral justness, with an increased capacity to see past perceived prejudices, and with a greater ability to love.

Many Americans consider themselves an authority an all things political, familial, religious and social.

Many Americans shun the call of the Savior and distort and ignore His teachings to favor their own pride, swollen incredibly out of proportion.

But there is another way. A way that brings ultimate peace and clarity to a world whose borders have been hastily blurred by the cheap, brittle eraser of falsehood that masquerades as such virtues as love and liberty.

He knocks, and we have but to open the door, and follow Him.
