This life is a time for us to prepare to go back home to our Heavenly Father. Everything that we do in this life should be geared to that goal. That is our Father's goal. That is his work, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39).
How do we go about helping the Father in this work? We seek the kingdom of God. We seek the will of the Father. Where need we look? The scriptures have everything that we need. We seek him through prayer. I love the saying if you want to talk to God you need to pray, if you want God to talk to you, read your scriptures.
We need to be anxiously engaged in building up the kingdom. What does that mean? It means establishing righteousness. Loving our fellowman. Sharing with others the light and knowledge that we have received. What a great work. Paul taught that we must love our fellowman, treat every man as the Savior would treat them. Strive to see and build up the light of every man (Eph 5:2).
Now more than ever we must seek out and find the good in everyone we see. Help them see the potintential that led us to them. As we follow that spirit we are able to rejoice with them in the kingdom of our Father.
