I came across this scripture today
It may be hard to see that at times, but hold on a little longer, for “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” and wait for Him (1 Corinthians 2:9; see also D&C 76:10; 133:45)
I haven't quite decided what it means to me. I just wanted to write it down so I could remember it. I know what I want it to mean, but I realize that the author gets the final say and since I don't know if really I know the author I will have to be satisfied to let this one influence me in a less assumptive way. Is assumptive a word? Anyway I hope the scripture means what it says cause it opens up the possibilities but the point is not to speculate on what those specific things would be but rather focus on loving/knowing God. (and waiting) So, in that light here is a question. would you still love God if He were a She, or had a different color of skin than you or if he had lived a life on an earth much in the same way as Hitler lived his mortal life. would that matter to your willingness to love him if there were say a few hundred eons between God's actions or mortal circumstances in his mortal life and who He is and what his circumstances are now? The only way I can answer these questions about what it takes to love someone, I have to ask a few more questions that have to do with forgiveness. If I live a mortal life of degredation, and deceit could I forgive myself enough to allow myself to overcome those weaknesses over a period of a few eons and see myself as whole and free of unloving characteristics...........this could lead to other questions, but for now I just want to focus on feeling for a while. Maybe then a few thoughts will come. Maybe not. I am slowly learning that thinking and feeling are equally important skills to have. And slowly learning that I lack on the feeling end of things. So to give a little twist to winnie the pooh.....feel feel feel feel.
