Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! Preparing to meet God is a lifelong journey. When we view our life’s purpose as an opportunity to progress on that journey, even the greatest challenge is a chance to learn and grow. Each experience helps refine us for the moment we are reunited with our Heavenly Parents.
Scripture
For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.—Alma 34:32
Quote
Fulfilling divinely appointed responsibilities, based on righteousness, unity, and equality before the Lord, brings personal happiness and peace in this world and prepares us for eternal life in the world to come. It prepares us to meet God.—Quentin L. Cook
