The Endowment And Sealing Ordinances

Through The Atonement Of Jesus Christ, Each Of Us Can Become Clean And The Burden Of Our Rebellion Will Be Lifted. Remember, Repentance Is Not Punishment. It Is The Hope-filled Path To A More Glorious Future.

What I Am Trying To Teach Is That When We Keep The Temple Covenants We Have Made And When We Live Righteously In Order To Maintain The Blessings Promised By Those Ordinances, Then Come What May, We Have No Reason To Worry Or To Feel Despondent.

Sadness, Disappointment, And Severe Challenges Are Events In Life, Not Life Itself. I Do Not Minimize How Hard Some Of These Events Are. They Can Extend Over A Long Period Of Time, But They Should Not Be Allowed To Become The Confining Center Of Everything You Do.

Attempt To Be Creative For The Joy It Brings… Select Something Like Music, Dance, Sculpture, Or Poetry. Being Creative Will Help You Enjoy Life. It Engenders A Spirit Of Gratitude. It Develops Latent Talent, Sharpens Your Capacity To Reason, To Act, And To Find Purpose In Life. It Dispels Loneliness And Heartache. It Gives A Renewal, A Spark Of Enthusiasm, And Zest For Life.

It's So Hard When Sincere Prayer About Something You Desire Very Much Is Not Answered The Way You Want. It Is Difficult To Understand Why Your Exercise Of Deep And Sincere Faith From An Obedient Life Does Not Grant The Desired Result. At Times It Is Difficult To Recognize What Is Best Or Expedient For You Over Time. Your Life Will Be Easier When You Accept That What God Does In Your Life Is For Your Eternal Good.
