This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Young Women's Session of the April 2011 Conference.
This week I noticed this, from Sister Dalton's talk:
As this couple knelt at the sacred altar, they received promises beyond mortal comprehension that will bless, strengthen, and assist them on their mortal journey.
I think it's interesting that these promises bless us before we’ve even truly started to do our part, and certainly before we've received their fulness. And there are so many of God's promises that are like that. They guarantee amazing blessings if we live up to them and are faithful—but then the blessings start coming almost as soon as we get the promises in the first place! Just trying to live the covenants is itself a blessing! Just thinking about the future promises, absorbing what they mean, shaping ourselves to hope for them—all of those things bless us continually all through the process of actually learning and growing into people that are able to receive the promised blessings!
