D&C 98:18 -- On Prepared Places

"Let not your hearts be troubled; for in my Father’s house are many mansions, and I have prepared a place for you; and where my Father and I am, there ye shall be also."
Doctrine and Covenants 98:18


This is similar to John 14:2 where he tells his disciples that he is going to prepare a place for them. It's cool that the promise is to everyone, which is even more clear in D&C 76:111 where the Lord talks about the people that will live in the Telestial Kingdom: "every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared; / And they shall be servants of the Most High; but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come" (D&C 76:111-112). So he prepares places for ALL of us, which is cool, and personal on an individual level.

Today, let's work on not letting our hearts be troubled, and trust in God, knowing that he will prepare the way before us, and help us to our happy ending. In the meantime, let's work on improving and doing good works, so that our works will be found to be good, and and our places will be found with God rather than away from him.
