Desecrating our Body is Desecrating our Divine Nature

Our divine nature has nothing to do with our personal accomplishments, the status we achieve, the number of marathons we run, or our popularity and self-esteem. Our divine nature comes from God. It was established in an existence that preceded our birth and will continue on into eternity.

There are two important days in a woman’s life: The day she is born and the day she finds out why.

Elaine Cannon, a former Young Women general president, said, “There are two important days in a woman’s life: The day she is born and the day she finds out why.”4


Why I like this: My 2nd day was when I gained a testimony for myself of the Truth of the Book of Mormon, The Mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Our Faith Can Reach Beyond the Limits of Current Reason

I came to know more fervently that answers to our sincere questions come when we earnestly seek and when we live the commandments. I was reminded that our faith can reach beyond the limits of current reason.

Guided by faith, by prayer, and by reason with a right intention, you have enough.

In a 1953 letter, Mother Teresa wrote: “Please pray specially for me that I may not spoil His work and that Our Lord may show Himself—for there is such terrible darkness within me, as if everything was dead. It has been like this more or less from the time I started ‘the work.’ Ask Our Lord to give me courage.”

Archbishop Périer responded: “God guides you, dear Mother; you are not so much in the dark as you think. The path to be followed may not always be clear at once. Pray for light; do not decide too quickly, listen to what others have to say, consider their reasons. You will always find something to help you. … Guided by faith, by prayer, and by reason with a right intention, you have enough.”
