Last night we had an FHE and some Father's Blessings.
Some of the key concepts that were discussed:
The gospel is really very simple and straight forward.
Man's purpose is to have joy.
Life is like a vetting process. We choose God, and when we are ready, God chooses us.
God is not going to give His power to someone who is not ready for it, or who would use it unrighteously. We have to show that we are willing and able to follow him--or to obey the rules of Godhood.
Satan has no power over us, so his only recourse is to deceive us: to have us believe that we are less than we are, and to convince us to follow him rather than our Father.
Christ never sinned, because he was at no time deceived by Satan.
Three blessings this week:
Bethany--Kirby's comment afterward, "That was like being hit by a train, I guess the mission decision is definitely the right decision." This last semester pre-mission will be easier and less stressful for you. You will be able to reach and serve many of God's children on your mission because of your personality and personal preparations.
Michelle--Pray for direction and to prepare for next steps.
Caryn--God appreciates your work with his special needs children. God will assist you with accessing your schooling and you will be able to complete your educational goals, and in time begin your family.
Thoughts about Father's Blessings:
Our Heavenly Father bestows blessings upon us through our Earthly Father, under his hands, because the natural sympathies and relationships between father and child are similar on earth and in heaven, and because via this method we can feel and receive of the love and council of both Fathers simultaneously and in tandom.
