Today I gave a lesson in Relief Society on "Immortality of the Soul" and have such a great understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.“
Perhaps one of the greatest blessings I have received by
being LDS is a concrete understanding of the purpose of life. We believe that
every human being is a child of Heavenly Father. We lived with Him in Heaven
before we were born on earth. Our purpose in life is to keep His commandments,
so that we can be worthy to return to live with our Father in Heaven. We cannot
be worthy without allowing the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of life
is to learn, and change and become better, more like Jesus Christ our perfect
example. This is our time to be tested and to have families, with whom we can
have the opportunity to live with forever. I have learned so much through the
trials God has given me, and I've been able to change to become more like the
person I've wanted to become much faster through the hard times, than through
times when life has been easy. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and
knows what experiences will help us to become the person we want to become. I
have come to know much better than i used to, that he wants to help us
accomplish our goals and He wants us to be so happy and attain all that he has.
He's doing His best to help us to learn and grow and to return to Him again.
