419 Heavenly Parents - United in Accomplishing God's Work (Michelle Gessell)
I have felt the feeling of “flowing” as in everything is flowing together, the scriptures, the conference talks I’m studying, and the illustrations I’m creating for the book I’m working on. I think it’s because everything in the gospel IS connected; ALL of it, and because “the seed” that was planted, is still desiring to know & grow in me. ⠀ I love the beautiful pattern of male & female, man & woman, different & distinct, and the puzzle they complete which creates unity. A unity shared since the beginning of time in an everlasting covenant. ⠀ The pattern of male & female began w/our Heavenly Parents, whom had divinely different roles, these were passed down to, given to, Adam & Eve, you & me. We each have purposes & eternal goals focused on helping our family/children understand and embrace principles that will help them return to Our Heavenly Parents. This is an eternal round. This is how unity flows. ⠀ Here are some quotes from the talk. If you are interested in reading or watching the whole talk, you can find it @churchofjesuschrist.org ⠀ Sister Bingham said, “Satan incites comparison as a tool to create feelings of being superior or inferior, hiding the eternal truth that men’s & women’s innate differences are God given & equally valued. He has attempted to demean women’s contributions both to the family & in civil society, thereby decreasing their uplifting influence for good. His goal has been to foster a power struggle rather than a celebration of the unique contributions of men & women that complement one another & contribute to unity.” ⠀ “Becoming more in tune with the divine pattern of working together in unity is critical in this day of “me first” messages that surround us. Women do possess distinctive, divine gifts and are given unique responsibilities, but those are not more—or less—important than men’s gifts and responsibilities. All are designed and needed to bring about Heavenly Father’s divine plan to give each of His children the best opportunity to fulfill his or her divine potential.” Michelle Gessell 8/2/2020 Original not for sale Prints may be available upon request Contact me at michellegessell@drawingnearertothee.com ⠀
