Sunday Afternoon Session
Think Celestial!
Excerpts
I have learned that Heavenly Father’s plan for us is fabulous, that what we do in this life really matters, and that the Savior’s Atonement is what makes our Father’s plan possible. …
… Today, to assist you to qualify for the rich blessings Heavenly Father has for you, I invite you to adopt the practice of “thinking celestial”! …
So, my dear brothers and sisters, how and where and with whom do you want to live forever? You get to choose.
When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view—an eternal view. Put Jesus Christ first because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and in His Atonement. It is also dependent upon your obedience to His laws. …
As you focus on thinking celestial, expect to encounter opposition. …
As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change. You will want to pray more often and more sincerely. …
As you think celestial, you will find yourself avoiding anything that robs you of your agency. …
Thinking celestial will also help you obey the law of chastity. …
