Thoughts I Have When Studying for my Eternal Family Class

I am enrolled in an Eternal Family course and love all the insights I have already gained after only a few weeks of school.
Here are some of today's thoughts.

"...by our choices we would demonstrate to God (and to ourselves) our commitment and capacity to live His celestial law while outside His presence and in a physical body with all its powers, appetites, and passions." {Why Marriage, Why Family. Elder D. Todd Christofferson, GC April 2015}

This is my greatest desire, to show God that I am committed to His cause. As a mere mortal, that's a pretty big thing to claim, and that might be the root of my anxiety, which in turn leads to depression. I want so badly to prove to my god and king that I am worthy enough to enter His kingdom. And the fact is, on my own, I simply am not. I cannot do it on my own. Which is why I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, which teaches me how to live, and for the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which helps me to more fully become the person I am destined to be.
