The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood
"“Our Church doctrine places women equal to and yet different from men. God does not regard either gender as better or more important than the other. …
“When men and women go to the temple, they are both endowed with the same power, which is priesthood power. … Access to the power and the blessings of the priesthood is available to all of God’s children.”"
This
truth was blinded to me for years. I continually struggled with the
difference between men and women. I felt men were placed above women,
that they were more important. Then as I pondered this one day I had
the thought, "God loves me just as much as He loves my husband. He does
not value men more than women. If He did He would be an unjust God.
It is not a competition."
How this knowledge cleared the cloud that had encroached on my feelings of womanhood and manhood. It is our society and the work of the devil that has clouded the minds of the women of this Church and of the world. No longer are children seen as an asset, but power and glory is regarded as true success. But wasn't Abraham promised Gen. 22:1-18
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Is there any way that he could have had this blessing without his wife? We are reminded that in years before posterity was seen as a blessing. The more children you had the better your future. Our society and the devil has changed God's plan to destroy the family. We are the women who must stand up and face these obstacle, remember our Divine Nature and honor our Father in Heaven's plan.
