Where Do You Think You'll Go AFter This Life?
Our Spirits Are Eternal
It’s comforting to know that God has a plan for us. He created our spirits before we were born and they’ll continue into eternity. Our life on earth is fundamental to His plan, as is death. It’s always sad when God calls our loved ones home, but we can be certain that their spirits live on.
In November 2009, I'd only been serving as a missionary for a few months and got a call from my mission president to let me know my grandmother had died, and to make sure I would be alright. Knowing that my grandmother is resting, watching, and waiting to be reunited with her family, and for judgment, makes it much easier to be away from my family at a time like that. Alma 40:12 gave me a lot of comfort and a window into where she is.
