Sister Tanner gave a wonderful lesson this week! We learned about and discussed our relationship with our Father in Heaven and His nature. Here are a few quotes that were shared. We hope you will take some time to think about your relationship with Him and how you can strengthen it.
“It is my desire to remind you of the nature and kind of being that God is,
so that you may worship him in spirit and in truth and thereby gain all
of the blessings of his gospel.”
-Joseph Fielding Smith
"Brothers and sisters, you may already know, deep in your soul, that
God lives. You may not know all about Him yet and do not understand all
His ways, but the light of belief is within you, waiting to be awakened
and intensified by the Spirit of God and the Light of Christ, which you
are born with."
-Elder Robert D. Hales
"No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our
infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to
Him so that He can draw near to us."
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Isn't it wonderful to know that we don’t have to be perfect to experience the
blessings and gifts of our Heavenly Father? We don’t have to wait to
cross the finish line to receive God’s blessings. In fact, the heavens
begin to part and the blessings of heaven begin to distill upon us with
the very first steps we take toward the light..."
"The perfect place to begin is exactly where you are right now. It doesn’t
matter how unqualified you may think you are or how far behind others
you may feel. The very moment you begin to seek your Heavenly Father, in
that moment, the hope of His light will begin to awaken, enliven, and
ennoble your soul..."
"Lift up your soul in prayer and explain to your Heavenly Father what you are
feeling. Acknowledge your shortcomings. Pour out your heart and express
your gratitude. Let Him know of the trials you are facing. Plead with
Him in Christ’s name for strength and support. Ask that your ears may be
opened, that you may hear His voice. Ask that your eyes may be opened,
that you may see His light."
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
