The scaffolding on the Salt Lake Temple helped restore the temple to its original beauty with more strength. It was there to help protect the House of the Lord—evidence of love and care for something sacred.
In our lives, the Lord offers scaffolding as well. Parents, good friends, teachers, leaders, commandments, covenants, and even seasons of correction and stretching—they are there to help us gain better access to the light and life that will bring us back to our heavenly home and safely reach our eternal destination.
We rejoice in Jesus Christ because He is the master builder. His grace is sufficient to refine, restore, repair, rebuild and bless your life now and forever.
@Bless_ThisMess7 I don't know you, but this hits close having received similar letters and responses from some of my children. Some have returned. Others... I'm holding hope. Standing with you in faith. 🙏
@guardyoung@BYUSportsNation It's been a pleasure to watch and cheer on your athletes as you've coached them to great accomplishments. Thank you for your service.
@MattTestifies He pretty much answers the questions to all the other problems and questions of doctrine that we misunderstand. Seems kind of the Lynch pin to the whole thing. Faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost...
@MattTestifies How about the role of the Holy Ghost? How frustrated did Nephi seem when he kept getting essentially asked, "but how do I figure out exactly what to do to get back to Heaven?" How often do we trifle over that question? Duh! You get the Holy Ghost and learn to listen and obey him!

In Genesis 28, we read that Jacob leaves his parents, Isaac and Rachel to both, escape the wrath of his brother, Esau, and to go to Haran to seek a wife amongst his extended relatives. 🧵 1/
