The Temple is Amazing

There are so many wonderful blessing that come from being a worthy temple recommend holder. However what privilege that not only is it magnificent on the inside but it is magnificent on the outside as well. Wow that sounds a lot like man kind. God has created temples to house our spirits. Our intellect and grand design is grand and magnificent just like our temples. Would you take a coffee or alcoholic beverage into the House of the Lord? Really we wouldnt because we know the reverence and importance of the Temple? Would we ruin the insides or use bad language in the Temple? Again it is the House of the Lord, and while we are on this earth we must be invited and worthy to enter, so essentially we are guest, and as guest we must be respectful to our Host. Also when you think about how they maintain the temple you realize that they clean it and make sure that everything is beautiful. Take this into account we need to maintain our temples/bodies. Exercise, eat healthy, and have good hygiene. Now the outside is our first impression on the temple, we dont write on our temple, or change it, we dont make it crazy colors or maintain up keep on it. Like the temple we need to be representatives  of Christ, we dress modest, we have natural hair styles and colors, we dont have tattoos and we dont have more than once piercing on each ear for girls and none for boys. We should take care of our appearance and try to look our best.
Not every temple is the same size and shape, each has its own divine design. Each is beautiful in its own way, however each serves for the same purpose.  As children of God we are created in his own image however, we are all different on shape size color gender race, and personality. Even though we are all different, we are all children of God and we are all on this earth for the same purpose.

My older Brother died for me.

John 3:16-18

 16 ¶For ^aGod so ^bloved the ^cworld, that he ^dgave his ^eonlybegotten ^fSon, that whosoever ^gbelieveth in him should not perish, but have ^heverlasting ⁱlife.

 17 For God ^asent not his Son into the world to ^bcondemn the world; but that the world through him might be ^csaved.

 18 ¶He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that^abelieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the ^bname of the only begotten ^cSon of God.

This last week I had the opportunity to go to the Temple with my Dad. This was an awesome experience 1) because both my dad and I are so busy that we never get to go to the temple together, and 2) because I was able to see the newest film in the Temple. I have never felt the spirit so strong in any session I have attended yet. One of the biggest things that I came to realize was how much our Heavenly Father and Savior love us. Heavenly Father introduced a plan in order of his children to be saved. I chose to fallow that plan, ultimately realizing that I will be tested on this earth. Christ our beloved brother chose to come and sacrifice his life in order to save mine. I can't even imagine how happy I was the day I found out that there would be a way provided for me to be able to return to live with my Heavenly Father. However, we ultimately realized that our Older Brother would have to die for us. We knew and loved Christ before we came to this earth, so much so that we chose to fallow him. How would we feel today if the only way we could continue living is if one of our siblings died for us. Christ loved us so much and we need to come to know and love him the same as he knows and loves us. Through repentance, and prayer we can come to know and love our Savior. We all have times of trials, heartache, and temptation, and Christ is able to comfort us and help us through those time. He knows all of our heartaches, pains and trials, he has perfect empathy. We need to remember that we cannot become closer or come to love our Savior if we do use the atonement in our lives our continue to pray to our Heavenly Father. I know that Heavenly Father enabled a plan so that one day my family and I could return to live with him. I know that my Savior loves my, so much so he was willing to die to save me. I know that through the atonement we can be freed from our sin and heartache, and  I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true Church on this earth.
