"Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption."
Alma 11:45
The thing that caught my eye about this verse today is the "spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided" part. It seems to me that many of our problems in this life are because our spirits and our bodies want different things, and it is that internal schism that causes us a lot of stress. Imagine what it would be to be completely whole and united, with no inner war... no angel on one shoulder and devil on the other. :)
Seems amazing to me, and something to look forward to. Of course, preparing now for that time in the future seems super important, because we need to figure out how that uniting is going to go and who we want to be before we get permanently fused into that inner relationship. :) Maybe that's why we are encouraged to make it a priority to repent in this life, because now is the only time when there is that disconnect where we want two different things.
Today, let's prepare for the future by making some choices about who we want to be, and what voices inside of us we're going to listen to. :) And, of course, let's do that in collaboration with God, who can help, being a whole and united being himself. :)
