"The word 'disciple' comes from the Latin 'discipulus', a learner. A disciple of Christ is one who is learning to be like Christ - learning to think, to feel, and to act as He does. To be a true disciple, to fulfill that learning task, is the most demanding regimen known to man. No other discipline compares with it in either requirements or rewards. It involves the total transformation of a person from the state of the natural man to that of a saint..."
(Chauncy C. Riddle, "Becoming a Disciple", Ensign September 1974)
"I am the vine, ye are the branches....without me ye can do nothing". (John 15:5)
I knelt before the throne of God
And I asked of Him:
Lord, when will I become like Thee?
To my feeble self He answered:
When you start to walk with Me.
