Today we’re diving into “Your Divine Nature and Eternal Destiny” by Dale G. Renlund
In case you want to follow along, here are the quotes we’re discussing today:
Quote #1: “. . .you are a beloved daughter. Nothing you do—or do not do—can change that. God loves you because you are His spirit daughter. Sometimes we may not feel His love, but it is always there. God’s love is perfect. Our ability to sense that love is not. The Spirit plays a pivotal role in communicating God’s love to us. Yet the influence of the Holy Ghost can be obscured ‘by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, … [or] fear, … like trying to savor the delicate flavor of a grape while eating a jalapeño pepper. … [One flavor] completely overpowers the other.’ So too, behaviors that distance us from the Holy Ghost, including sin, make it difficult for us to perceive God’s love for us. Similarly, our sense of God’s love may be blunted by challenging circumstances and physical or mental illness, among other things.”
Quote #2: “‘We have “a divine nature.’ This is intrinsic to who we are. It is spiritually ‘genetic,’ inherited from our heavenly parents, and requires no effort on our part. This is our most important identity, regardless of how else we choose to identify ourselves.”
