Seeking Refuge

Where Can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace,
When other sources cease to make me whole?
Where in my need to know, where can I run?

The answer is found in the Savior of the world. As we search him out through prayer and scriptures, we can also go to his house if we are worthy. There we can truly find him. We can commune with him and find peace.

The temple provides us peace, happiness, a lasting joy that will go on throughout all eternity. It is a refuge from a sick crying world. Here we leave our worldly cares and only focus on the things that extend beyond here. The temple shines light on what matters most, our Families.

The temple provides a place for the work of the Lord to be carried forth. What is that work, the immortality and eternal life of all  Mankind!(Moses 1:39). It truly is the sweetest work that you will ever have the opportunity to perform. It may seem like a little daunting at first but what worth doing does not stretch us. Everything that we do in this life requires work.

Why not be anxiously engaged in a work where the fruits last. The things that we do in the temple have consequences that last not just for this lifetime but go on for eternity. By serving, you are not only helping others of your Brothers and Sisters. You are creating eternal relationships.
