My yoke is easy, and my burden is light

Questions

I want to make you think. What is the best way to do that? I am very curious person. I like to know things. How do you learn new things? Questions.

What is cool about questions is that they end with the question symbol(?). It’s easy to find the questions in the scriptures.

Which were the first questions?

Preexistente
Abr 3:27
Whom shall I send?

Beginning
Gen 3:9
Where art thou Adam?

Gen 4:9
Am I my brothers keeper?

Baptism
Matt 3
“I have need to be baptised of thee, and comest thou to me?”
I’ve seen quite few baptisms in these 4 years.

Matt 5
“46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

Matt 6
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Clothes.
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
I’ve learned to love even more the hymns, through the sisters who guides us in the music. Our appearance is important as our bodies are temple of God, but they should not be our most important fix idea. And also don’t become obsessed with planning, over planning and worrying about food and clothes.
32 for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matt 7
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
God loves us and blesses us everyday. How I learned that God loves me.
For the past 4 years I’ve learned that living in UK is nice. You don’t have as much problems as other places. A lot of things are handled for you: automated banking, online shopping, fast trains with WiFi, cars, phones, food, clothes, health, education, infrastructure, etc.
When I went for 2 years mission in Germany I realised how much God loves me because I saw, met and got to know many different people. I saw refugees from Africa showing faith in most difficult time, I saw Eastern Europeans like me trying to have a better life in a different place, who were desiring to meet a fellow soul to tell them a good word. I met lonely Germans who needed someone to listen to them. Then I realised how much God loves me as he has blessed me with hope so I will not suffer. Only need to continue have hope.
Everything is better organised so we can have more time for us and concentrate on important things. So what are the important things? We decide right? Well for some of us our mothers and fathers decide what’s important. Oh, but wait, why some of us only. We all have heavenly parents and they have decided what are the important things for us.

What is the greatest commandment? Love God from heart, soul, mind. love thy neighbour as thyself. Love yourself. Sometimes we forget to love ourself first.
What is the purpose of our life?

John 21:15
lovest thou me more than these?

Matt 8
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Have no fear but believe.

Temples

Life is more than we think. God knows all and wants to share with us more and more of His wisdom. The temple is a special, peaceful place, where we can stop, ponder and receive more of that knowledge. This is not just additional, extra doctrine or place we go when we need. The temple is the "desert" of our dinner. It is the final step of our conversion. It is a sweet experience in our spiritual journey. But just as we have to eat to live: after a dinner there is breakfast, lunch and then another dinner. The same is with the temple, it is not the end. We have to go over and over again. Just like the conversion: we fail, repent and convert over and over again. And we enjoy and learn more and more. We change and experience differently every time we eat from the desert. Very nice video explaining about temples. Reminding us how important they are in our live. Temples Endow Individuals with Power and Seal Families for Eternity Download this video There are so man...

Jesus Christ - The Father

In the book of Ether there is a very special and insightful event telling us many truths about Jesus Christ, us and the plan of salvation. Here are the main points I picked up while reading today: A. Jesus Christ is The Father of all He created the worlds (our planet and all other planets, stars, galaxies and possibly other inhabited planets). He is our Father, because He created Adam and Eve. And all this He did under the instructions of God, who send Him to do it for us. B. Jesus Christ didn’t have body of flesh and blood beforehand. He was the great Jehovah in the Old Testament, leading the Israelites from the cloud. We can suppose that similarly to the brother of Jacob, Moses had seen the finger of God writing down the Ten Commandments on the stone plates. Just like all of us, Jesus Christ had to be born on earth, live, die and through the resurrection receive a glorified, immortal body of flesh and bones - just like God. Then they both appeared to the young boy Jos...

My yoke is easy, and my burden is light

(based on the talk " His Yoke Is Easy and His Burden Is Light " by Sister J. Anette Dennis - First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, Oct 2022) What comes to your mind when you hear this quote?   Matthew 11:28–30 - It is the best advertisement. The world's ads usually promise you a product which will fix all of your problems. The world and our natural man try to tells us that having difficulties is not normal and we should try to make our life better for ourselves. That there is a pill for any type of pain and our goal is to eliminate all difficulties. Jesus's ads are different - they are real. He doesn't tell you that He will eliminate all your pain and you will be 100% happy, all the time. But rather He tells us that: it is part of God's plan for us to go thru difficulties and the best way to go thru them is to do it in His way. To come unto Him and learn of Him and then we will receive peace, not a temporal, but lasting peace, not like the ...
