On Friday I was privileged to attend the Nashville Tennessee Temple for the third time during my mission. I love going to the temple. There is a special spirit inside the temple that is available nowhere else on Earth.
Why is the temple so peaceful? Because it is literally the House of the Lord. It is in the temple that we catch glimpses of eternity and learn our place in God's merciful and awe-inspiring plan.
I don't understand everything about the temple and it will probably take quite a bit of time before I do. But I do know that I feel closer to the Savior in the temple. One of the great blessings of the temple is that we must be worthy to enter inside. Preparing to attend the temple helps us live chaste, clean, meaningful lives.
If you have a temple recommend, do you attend regularly? If you don't have a temple recommend, what are you willing to sacrifice to get one? Remember the counsel of President Thomas S. Monson—
No sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive [the blessings of the temple].MORE ONLINE
