Temples

I love temples. I love going there and listening to the clear teachings. I love being one with my brothers and sisters in there. I love learning how obedience to the Lord brings blessings. I love the symbol that they are, of spiritual freedom.
I love how everything the Lord does for His children here on earth points towards these marvelous bulidngs. I love how these buildings and the ordinances performed therein are the whole entire basis and reasing for the full Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love how the priesthood authority that Jesus Christ Himself holds, is put to its fullest earthly potential within the walls of these temples.
I love how the blessings of the initiatory and the teachings of the endowment stay with those who attend and patronize the temple regularly. I love how subtle things in the scriptures, things the prophets say, or sometimes small moments in institute or Sunday school remind me of those teachings, which readily reminds me of how valid those teachings are in real life. And I love how when you apply them, they make life more meaningful and purpose-driven.
I love how we can have eternal families because of these bulidings. I love how everthing within its walls point to Christ and His Atonement. I love how prophets in the land have the vision of bringing these bulidings to the world, through missionary work. I love how they counsel each of us to remain worthy to enter the temples, so that we might realize the symbolism therin of coming back to our Father in Heaven's presence again one day.
