Thoughts on the Temple

A temple is a place where Christ visits and Priesthood ordinances are performed. The temple is a place of sanctification and personal revelation. The environment is warm and welcoming. I feel a great spirit as I walk through the temple doors leaving behind my worldly and temporal cares. In the temple I can focus on the things of eternal importance pertaining to myself and my family.

I flee to the temple when my burdens are heavy and I need spiritual strength and guidance. I attend to worship my Savior. I attend to serve my deceased ancestors. I go to the temple to learn more about myself and my purpose in the grand eternal plan. I go to the temple to become refined in spirit.
