Reverence
Our lesson focused on reverence. The three areas discussed that would help us develope greater reverence were 1) Respect, 2) Humility, and 3) Gratitude.
When we think of our love for Heavenly Father, we will become more reverent. Our deep respect will grow into love for Him. As Latter Day Saints, we know more about Heavenly Father than many others. We should therefore have greater love for Him. We can show our love by making good choices, having better manners, and serving Him. We should keep His commandments if we desire to increase our reverence. Our love for Him is demonstrated by the kindness we show others, when we have a reverent attitude, and when we obey commandments understanding the purpose for doing so. When we relinquish our will to do the Lord's will, we become more reverent.
Humility to change lends itself to submissiveness to the Lord's will. Humility turns the switch of pride off. Humility is a process. We discover humility by thinking less about ourselves, not less of ourselves. We must be submissive to what the Lord asks of us.
Gratitude for all Heavenly Father has blessed us with helps us become more reverent.
Testimonies of several sisters followed the lesson.
