Come listen to the prophets voice

Unfortunately, I was not able to listen to many of the live sessions this last week during General Conference. I am in the Air National Guard, and this last weekend we had training all day on saturday and sunday.  But I was able to watch the Priesthood Session live, where I was able to hear one of my favorite talks given in recent memory.
              Dieter F. Uchtdorf gave a talk entitled, "Lord, is it I?"
In the talk President Uchtdorf tells the story of The Last Supper and how during this the Lord says one of the people present will soon betray him.  Instead of looking around for the person to put the blame on, they were exceedingly sorrowful and looked into their own hearts and asked the Lord, "Lord, is it I?"
Throughout the talk, President Uchtdorf uses several examples showing how so many people have such a distorted view of how they actually are.  Many times the successful see themselves as being better than they are while at the same time not giving others enough credit.  In his own words, "when we start believing that our contributions at home, at work, and at church are greater than they actually are, we blind ourselves to blessings and opportunities to improve ourselves in significant and profound ways."
          This talk really struck home with me, because I constantly am comparing myself to my friends and other people and there are times where I almost look down on my friends because they make choices that I don't agree with.  In reality, I should be concerned with where I am spiritually, because heaven knows I have a lot of improving to do.  
             This talk really makes me desire and strive to set aside pride and instead strive to constantly improve myself.  He gives a promise for those of us who look in ourselves and are constantly striving to improve.  "Those who want to improve and progress, those who learn of the Savior and desire to be like Him, those who humble themselves as a little child and seek to bring their thoughts and actions into harmony with our Father in Heaven—they will experience the miracle of the Savior’s Atonement. They will surely feel God’s resplendent Spirit. They will taste the indescribable joy that is the fruit of a meek and humble heart. They will be blessed with the desire and discipline to become true disciples of Jesus Christ."
