"And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received--"
Doctrine and Covenants 84:54
I think it is interesting here that unbelief darkens our minds. I wonder if it is because we are limiting ourselves and are unable to see all the possibilities. It kind of makes sense that when we block out God's voice, we are unable to tap into the light of his higher perspective.
The treating lightly thing is also important, although we don't want to get so serious that we are stressing ourselves out constantly because we aren't perfect--I think it's more taking God's opinion, ideas, and the eternal possibilities seriously rather than taking ourselves too seriously. :) We need to be serious about doing what God asks, but also give ourselves room to repent and change and realize that mistakes are part of the process. We just need to be improving... moving towards God rather than away from him.
Today, let's look to God to lighten our lives and our minds. :)
