Do You Qualify For Blessings?

"To become worthy, we make choices that will enable us to return to our Heavenly Father's presence. We do those things which will qualify us to claim all the blessings that He has in store for us. This is the reason we are here on the earth--'to see if [we] will do all things whatsoever the Lord . . . shall command' (Abraham 3:25). It is through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that we can resist temptation (see Alma 37:33; 3 Nephi 7:18). Our faith will enable us to shun evil. It will be repulsive to us because 'light cleaveth unto light' and 'virtue loveth virtue' (see D&C 88:40).

"To become unspotted from the world requires not only faith but repentance and obedience. We must live the standards and do those things which will entitle us to the constant companionship and guidance of the Holy Ghost--for the Spirit cannot dwell in unholy temples (see Helaman 4:24)."
(Elaine S. Dalton, "Look toward Eternity!" Ensign, Nov. 2006, 31)

Blessings Qualify Do

Very interesting quote. My faith must be seriously lacking. I need many blessings from Heavenly Father right now and this reminds me that I need to repent from all my sins and try my best to be obedient and unspotted from the world in order to "qualify" for the many blessings that surely Heavenly Father has in store for me. Great quote for a Sunday afternoon.
