| Lehi's Dream |
"Even though you have a testimony and want to do what is right, it is difficult not to be drawn to the great and spacious building. From all appearances, the people in the building seem to be having a good time. The music and laughter are deafening...don't mistake telestial pleasure for celestial happiness and joy... the people in tat building have absolutely nothing to offer except instant, short-term gratification and inescapably connected to long-term sorrow and suffering. The commandments you observe were not given by a dispassionate God to prevent you from having fun, but by a loving Father in Heaven who wants you to be happy while you are living on this earth, as well as in the hereafter." -Glen L. Pace
Oh my, I read this tonight and you don't know how much this applies to me right this minute.
I need to remind myself right now that this building has nothing to offer me... I have been there, I have spent time there...and it lead me ever so close to a spiritual and physical death...and it will be my ruin if I go back.
Satan is so smart...he knows how to sneak in, and he will never give up trying to make us miserable as he is.
Thank you God for those around me who care and please help me to allow them in...I cannot do this alone.
