Lost Luggage, Redeemed Souls
Excerpts
In a reverent way, I wonder what it is like for a loving Heavenly Father to send His most precious belongings, His children, away from their heavenly home, knowing they must pass through the challenges of mortality. …
May I offer two cases where I feel the Lord would be deeply pleased with those who magnify their role as thoughtful and intentional handlers of His precious cargo, His children?
The first is in our role as assigned ministering brothers and sisters—adults and youth. …
Consider your ministering assignment as “Christlike caring” of the Lord’s most treasured possessions, who at the end of their mortal journey can be claimed and redeemed by Him. …
The second is the universal charge to strengthen and nurture the rising generation, to bring up children “in light and truth.” …
Teach the rising generation to know, love, and emulate their Savior, Jesus Christ. “He is the strength of youth.”
They will respond. …
In the end, we are all one family.
We all need help along the way.
We each possess a tag that marks us as a child of a loving Heavenly Father. Printed upon that tag is a spiritual promise and sacred proclamation that testifies, “This precious soul has great worth to one day be redeemed by its holder,” never to be forgotten, neglected, or lost.
