Choices..
What do you think when you
hear the word "Celestial"?
Paul tells of varying glories in the scriptures.
"There are also celestial bodies, and bodies
terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory."
-Best/Celestial/Sun
-Better/ Terrestrial/Moon
-Good/ Telestial/Stars
All of the time in the Scriptures it is usually talking about normal people that made the RIGHT choice to follow God while going through adversity.
Sometimes the adversity they were facing was a HUGE problem,
other times it was a small problem.
But they made the right choice; a Celestial Choice!
In life we face many different things..-Trials- Ex: sickness, death, broken bones
-Troubles- Ex: can come from decisions we make. Maybe not immediate, could come later on in life.
-Afflictions- Ex: Trials and troubles that come to us from other's choices that they make.
God is always there for us, He is our loving Heavenly Father. He loves us perfectly. He doesn't want us to suffer. He is here to help, guide, and strengthen us.
-If you are a parent, think of how much you love your children.
The things we go through and experience in our lives are there to help us grow and to become more like our Father in Heaven.
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
-Helaman 5:12
