More purity give me, more strength to o'ercome,
More freedom from earth stains, More longing for home.
More fit for the kingdom, more used would I be,
More blessed and holy, more Savior, like thee.
To me this verse is the prayer to become all that we can be. We are sent to the earth so that we can become like our Father in Heaven and Christ.
It is through purity, or a committment to live the commandments that we recieve freedom from earth stains.
It is through Christ and His atonement that we are given the strength to overcome. I find that as I pray for this strength, and apply the Atonement in my life I come to learn about myself, and the savior; which leads to a longing for home. Whether it is our heavenly home, or earthly home, we all seek for a place to belong, and to feel welcome and loved.
As we pray to be fit for the kingdom we are asking for opportunities to prove ourselves, and to be used in God's service. Take just a moment and really think about what that means. More used would I be, in becoming fit for the Kingdom. This isn't just land some ruler has dominion over. This is the Kingdom of God, who created, rules, and loves everything and everyone. I believe that to be "Fit for the Kingdom" we need to stive to live as He would.
So we then pray to be more blessed and holy, more like the Savior.
I encourage you today, right now, to think about who your savior is. What is His character? How on earth could we ever become exactly like He is?
The plain truth of it is that we won't. In this life we will still be imperfect. But this hymn or this prayer isn't asking God to make us perfect, it is asking to become More. More than I am right now. More than who I was. More like the person He created me to be. That is the purpose of our lives here. It is glorious and filled with hope. If you know someone who doens't have this in their lives perhaps share the encouraging message found in this Hymn and more especially in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I know that as you come to learn of this Gospel, and learn more about yourself then you will feel a difference in your life. You will know you are a child of God, and that through it all He loves you.
I testify of His infinate love for you. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
