Foreordained!

today we talked about foreordination in sunday school. we discussed that all of us are foreordained to do certain things here on the earth according to what we did in our first estate. we all have the same opportunities to choose the right path while here on the earth. there are those that were chosen to be our leaders here on earth, but we still have the opportunities to learn and grow and be "added upon" when we keep the commandments. we may not all be ones to do great things like be the prophet or general yw president, but we can do great things in our own lives to help other people and gain God's trust.

someone gave a quote in class that summoned it all up:
you don't have to be one to do great things, but you can do small things with great love.

  1. we talked about that too and this girl made a cool point. she said that when we remember that everyone was foreordained, even the people who aren't members of the Church, makes us less afraid to share the Gospel. i thought it was cool.
