Our Choice

Our ability to choose started before this life began. We chose whether we wanted to follow our Heavenly Father's plan or Lucifer's plan. We chose how hard we wanted to fight for what we believed in. Regardless, we know that because we are here, we chose Jesus Christ as our Savior and accepted life here with the ability to choose. Because of that one choice, we have been faced with countless others. And no matter what happens, we cannot blame anyone else for our own choices. Bad things happen, but we get to choose how we respond to them. If we want to reach the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom, we make that choice. We make it every day. The little choices that we make culminate in that big choice. We get to choose whether we are happy, whether we pray every day and how much time we spend allowing Heavenly Father to talk to us through the Scriptures. So when you choose to read your scriptures or serve your neighbor, you're not just reading or serving. You're choosing the Celestial Kingdom.
