D&C Reading Insights 1/6

Section: D&C 77
Principles and Doctrines:
o Doctrine: The spiritual is in the likeness of the temporal. Our spirits look like our bodies. The same holds true for animals (vs. 2).

Application of one truth from this section to my life: It is comforting to know that my spirit and body look the same. It encourages me to know that my family will easily recognize me on the other side. It also motivates me to keep my body healthy so me Spirit can look good and stay healthy as well.



Section: D&C 79
Principles and Doctrines:
o Doctrine: The comforter teaches the truth and the way we should go (vs. 2).

Application of one truth from this section to my life: I am so grateful that I have a member of the Godhead as my constant companion to help me out when life gets difficult. I want to live my life in such a way as to always be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost. I want to radiate the Spirit of Christ to others.
Section: D&C 80
Principles and Doctrines:
o Doctrine: Missionaries are to teach the gospel to every creature that cometh under the sound of their voice (vs. 1).

Application of one truth from this section to my life: I remember feeling the importance of declaring the gospel to all when I was on my mission. I long to feel that same urgency now and continue to do what I can to spread the gospel in righteous ways. I know that social media allows our voices to spread farther than ever before. I will continue to share my insights from the scriptures and the Gospel of Christ on my blog.

Sometimes it feels like wishful thinking. It seems weak.  At times I just want to rest in God's love. I just want to feel my Savior next to me. Sometimes I feel him there. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes there's a lot of negativity towards and around the church. And sometimes I can see why. I do see some things that are troubling. What I always hang on to is my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Ghost I've been given. I know that sounds cheesy to some. They don't think it's a real thing. But I have felt peace so many times through the Holy Ghost. I've felt him tell me that Jesus says, "It's all gonna be ok. Just trust. Be patient. Ponder. Let go.

Behold, I say unto you, Nay. 27  Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his  a salvation ?
