D&C 88:4 -- On the Promise of Eternal Life

"This Comforter is the promise which I give unto you of eternal life, even the glory of the celestial kingdom;"
Doctrine and Covenants 88:4


I really like the idea of a comforter.  Not the blanket kind (well, *also* the blanket kind), but the holy ghost that comforts us, and the promises of God which also comfort us.  It's a crazy world, and I think that we often need a little comfort.  Here, God helps us understand the confidence, assurance, and even power that we can have in our lives if we believe his promise, trust that we will have eternal life, and prepare for it, living in a manner befitting eternal beings. :)

Today, let's trust in God's word and in the promise of an eternity of life and happiness ahead.  Let's follow the gospel and do what we need to do to get there, accepting Jesus Christ's atonement in our lives, repenting, and keeping the spirit with us.  Let's read and pray and attend church, and walk God's path, having confidences not only in the existence of the promised blessings, but in our ability to achieve them, with God's help.
