Home stretch, guys! Let's rock this.

The Holy Ghost provides us with personal revelation for our lives. Personal Revelation is essential for major life choices. But the holy ghost honors our right to agency and may not help us with the smaller choices in our lives, allowing us to learn to make those choices. Also we will not receive revelation for others.

We are to always remember Him 1. By having confidence in his covenants promises and assurances 2. By gratefully acknowledging his hand in out lives. 3.By trusting when the Lord Assures us. 4.he invites us to remember that he always welcomes us home 5. Remember the sacrament 6. always remember Him as he remembers us.
To be worthy does not mean to be perfect.
Know what to hold on to and what to let go of. attachment to the wrong things leads to suffering, letting go of the things that drag you down sets you free.
Patrick Kearon
There are many in need around the world. We as Mormons were not long ago refugees, and should seek to help those who are suffering. This reminds me of a thought I heard in a devotional a wile back. That we, as Christians are commanded to respond to violence by refusing to accept it and extending kindness. The thought was based around the 'Turn the Other Cheek" thing. Basically in old times you would slap someone with your right hand. Back handing them on their right cheek sent the message that they were beneath you socially, but using an open palm on their left cheek ment they saw you as a equal. By turning the other cheek you tell the person hitting you that you see them as an equal and demand that they treat you as one.

We progress by making choices. Think of a video game. If you never make any choices, how can you level up?
We need an opposition in all things to allow us to make choices. By facing problems and difficulties head on we can grow and, most importantly, be human.
We face many challenges of varied difficulty, nature and duration, and nobody is excused. Oaks seems to be touching on the idea that there are some sorrows that are avoidable and some that are completely unavoidable. I differentiate these two by calling the unavoidable 'pain' and the avoidable 'suffering'
Somethings can only be learned by faith.

The real power of the temple is in it's ordinances. Just being in the temple or near a temple is like being near food. If you don't DO something you get nothing.
Paul V. Johnson
Someday we will be healed and whole. The resurrection will restore us to life and purity. There is no salvation without our soul and body. We are basically two creatures crammed into one. A spirit that doesn't remember where it came from and a body with no idea where it's going.
The resurrection proves to us that God can do other miracles, both big and small.
Jeffery R Holland
None of us want tomorrow to chase away what we feel today. We all have to come down from peak experiences in order to deal with the daily normality of life. Don't give up, don't get dragged down.
The Lord blesses those who want to improve. If you stumble, so does everyone. If you fall, ask for help. We get credit for trying.
The first great truth of eternity is that God loves us. That is the foundation of everything. God will never desert us. It is not in His nature.
Keep loving, keep trying, keep trusting, keep growing.
Heaven is cheering you on, tomorrow and every day.
