I love to see the temple I'll go inside someday, I'll covenant with my father To listen and obey, for the temple is a holy place where we are sealed together , as a child of God I've learned the truth, a family is forever"
I love to see the temple is one of my favourite primary songs. The temple is a holy place and a house of God and just like the song says I do love to see the temple and I have the honour and the privilege of going inside.
Mormon temples are often seen as being secretive and mysterious, mainly because only worthy members of the church are allowed inside. The work done inside the temples is neither secretive or mysterious it is simply sacred. Some of the most important and precious work carried out in the church is done in the temples. This work itself is not a secret,as a church we happily and openly talk about our belief in families being together forever, and the important work we do for the dead in the temples. We want families to be together forever and we want people to know that they can!!! The ceremonies themselves however are sacred and are not discussed outside of the temple walls. I suppose it's a bit like your own personal prayers, when you talk to Heavenly Father and promise to do things and ask for help etc. it is very personal and is between you and him. You would not want those words and promises broadcast to world,the temple ceremonies are the same. They are personal and sacred and do not need to be discussed or put on display for all to see.
I find being in the temple a beautiful, humbling experience. I am filled with the spirit whenever I am there. It fills my heart with peace and joy and I feel my saviour walking right beside me. The peace of the temple allows for personal prayer and contemplation and provides the perfect setting to receive personal revelation. On my most recent trip to the temple, one which was extremely special to me I was blessed with the answers I had so desperately being searching for. I have been confused as to whether the new plans I was making for my future were right and I received my answer as I sat quietly in the temple. It didn't come in the way I had expected it to but it did come. Sometimes your dreams just aren't what life has planned but what The Lord has got planned for you is even better than any dream you could have. I know that this is true. I know the church is true , I know it with all my heart , mind and soul. I know that my redeemer lives and nothing testifies of this to me more than the spirit I fell within the walls of the temple.
I am grateful that I can be with my family forever!!! Forever families are awesome!! Being a mormon is awesome!!!
