Kari's lesson was so great! She reviewed and emphasized the main principles we discussed last week at Ward Conference. She talked about how we can be active in the church verses being active in the gospel. She said that being active in the gospel is more than just coming to church meetings and activities. It means that we do those things in our personal life to build our spirituality. Some suggestions of how we can be more active in the gospel included: personal scripture study, personal prayer, pondering what we have learned from scriptures and prayer, attending the temple.
She lead into the next part of her lesson which was about our Diving Nature. She asked us "What is your divine destiny?" We are literal daughters of our Heavenly Father, and we need to think about what he wants us to do in our lives and think of ways to be closer to him so that we can return to live with Him one day.
Kari's lesson was based on this section from Handbook 2: Administering the Church
Families and the Church in God’s Plan | |
| 1.1 God the Father’s Plan for His Eternal Family | |
| 1.1.1 | The Premortal Family of GodThe family is ordained of God. It is the most important unit in time and in eternity. Even before we were born on the earth, we were part of a family. Each of us “is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents” with “a divine nature and destiny” (“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,”Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102). God is our Heavenly Father, and we lived in His presence as part of His family in the premortal life. There we learned our first lessons and were prepared for mortality (see D&C 138:56). |
Think about: What is your divine destiny?
