Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
When we remember that this life gives us space to repent and prepare, our daily choices start to carry more eternal weight. Instead of waiting for a crisis or a later season to turn our hearts toward God, we can use today to become more honest, more humble, and more ready to stand before Him.
Scripture
“And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.”—Alma 12 24
Quote
“The world sees birth and death as the beginning and the end. But because of God’s holy plan, we know that birth and death are actually just milestones on our journey to eternal life with our Heavenly Father. They are essential parts of our Father’s plan—sacred moments when mortality and heaven intersect.”—Weatherford T. Clayton, “Our Father’s Glorious Plan”

Living the Principle: Now Is the Time to Prepare to Meet God
- Take a few quiet minutes today to ask where your heart needs to change, then choose one honest act of repentance instead of putting it off.
- Look at one daily habit through an eternal lens and decide whether it helps you become more prepared to meet God.
- Reach out to someone you need to forgive, thank, serve, or make peace with, and take one sincere step toward repairing that relationship.
