Each one of us has been sent here to this earth for a very special reason. To become like our heavenly father. Daily we strive to do those little things that help us develop a habit. As we develop a habit we internalize it and it becomes a trait. These traits be they good or bad make up who we are. As we strive to become like our heavenly father it is important that we first know the type of person he is and the traits he has. As we learn these things we can change our daily habits and develop traits like his.
There are countless scriptures that point us in the direction of becoming more like him. The one I want to talk about is Moses 1:39 "For behold, this is my work and my glory to bring to pass the imortality and eternal life of man."
This scripture teaches us the desire of our father. He wants us to be able to become like him and have all that he has.
To personalize this we too should have the same work and glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. How would our father react if he was walking the street and didn't see some one with the same opportunities he had? How would our father spend his spare time? Would he feel like his calling was a burden and that it used up his precious time? When given a calling how would our father receive and fulfill his call no matter how big our small?
If it is our eternal goal to return to our Father-in-heaven we must try to think of everything we do as if our heavenly father was doing it. It is his work we are doing. He has entrusted us to do it because he beleives in us and not only wants us to help others but he wants to help us as well.
