"Reverence is profound respect and love. A reverent attitude toward God includes honoring Him, expressing gratitude to Him, and obeying His commandments...Reverent behavior includes prayer, scripture study, fasting, and payment of tithes and offerings. It includes having wholesome thoughts, wearing modest clothing, and using clean, wholesome language. The depth of a person's reverence is evident in his or her choice of music and other entertainment, in the way sacred subjects are spoken of, and in the way the person dresses and acts when attending church services and worshiping in the temple. Reverence also includes making righteous choices even when no one is watching. Reverence for the Lord leads to serving other people and treating them with kindness and respect."

  2. What a wonderful definition of Reverencing God! I especially like how it says it includes making righteous choices even when no one is watching. I think sometimes the good choices we make are based on the fact that we know certain people will be present. It's good if people's presence influence you to do good, but we need to make sure we're doing it for the right reasons. What a good quote!
