My work and My Glory...

Dear Posterity,

One of my favorite scriptures is Moses 1:39. The scripture states, "For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." Simply stated, this is our Heavenly Father's goal. His ultimate goal is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

I love this scripture for one major reason. My goal in life is to return to my Heavenly Father and become like Him and what better way to become like Him then to make His goal my goal. To become like our Heavenly Father we must assist and glory in bringing to pass the eternal life of man. The question is what can we do to help?

We must first live righteous lives and be an example of Christ in all things that we do. The scriptures say that "by their fruits ye shall know them." What fruits do we show the world? Will the world know that we are servants of Christ by our good works or have left room for the world to question where our loyalties lie? Living righteously begets good works and opens up doors.

Perhaps the most important door that living righteously opens are the temple doors. The temple not only allows us to learn from on High but it allows us to assist in bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Only in the temple can we receive the life saving ordinances for those who are unable to receive them for themselves. Only in the temple can we act as a proxy for the world of Spirits and offer the dead the same rights and privileges that we have. What a great blessing this brings to us and those that we serve.

I plead with you to always be worthy of the blessings the temple bring. Not only for yourself but for those who are waiting for you to assist them in their eternal progression. Do not let Satan destroy what our Heavenly Father has created.

Be worthy of these blessings not and always...
