i taught a lesson on divine nature, today....
i really struggled with this lesson, because i was feeling a little less divine this week....
but, i put my nose to the grind and prepared a lesson even though i knew the lesson was more for me than it was for the girls.....
i hate when the lesson is for me.....
i really didn't want to learn from it, i wanted to wallow in my feelings....
so, here's what i learned....
i was sent to earth with divine qualities and now i need to develop them....
once developed (continuous process), use them for good and fulfill my mission that God has for me....
here are some scriptures that tell of divine qualities....
2 Peter 1; Alma 7:23-24; and D&C 121:45
divine qualities....
submissive, gentle, easy to be entreated, patient, long-suffering, being temperate, diligent in keeping the commandments, grateful, faith, hope, charity, humble, virtuous
"and then ye will always abound in good works" when you have these things.
i think that i have some of these qualities.....
i am gentle, patient for the most part, faithful, charitable
i need to work on being more humble, grateful
the ways to work on these are....
be more apt to humble myself and not always have to have god humble me...
see the good in all things and recognize that they are from god....
"always return thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive"
i am grateful for my calling and for my family....
i am grateful for the gospel and the scriptures that guide and direct me...
i am grateful for the talents that i have and the ability to perform them and hopefully share them...
i am grateful for a kind and loving heavenly father....
i am grateful for good friends who love and accept me for who i am....
i am grateful for lessons that teach me the things i need to know and work on!
you rock.
