40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 18
NAME OF CHRIST:
“The Creator has entrusted the earth’s resources and all forms of life to our care, but He retains full ownership.”
-Gerald Causse
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“At the end of this mortal existence, the Master will ask us to give an account for our sacred stewardship, including how we have cared for His creations.”
-Gerald Causse
SCRIPTURE:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
-John 1:1-3
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“We participate in the work of creation whenever we cultivate the earth or add our own constructions to this world—as long as we show respect for God’s creations. Our contributions may be expressed through the creation of works of art, architecture, music, literature, and culture, which embellish our planet, quicken our senses, and brighten our lives. We also contribute through scientific and medical discoveries that preserve the earth and life upon it.”
-Gerald Causse
INVITATION TO ACT:
“Our role as stewards of earthly creations is not solely about conserving or preserving them. The Lord expects us to work diligently, as moved upon by His Holy Spirit, to grow, enhance, and improve upon the resources He has entrusted to us—not for our benefit only but to bless others.”
-Gerald Causse
A PROMISED BLESSING:
“I testify that great spiritual blessings are promised to those who love and care for the earth and their fellow men and women. As you stay faithful in this sacred stewardship and honor your eternal covenants, you will grow in the knowledge of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ, and you will feel Their love and Their influence more abundantly in your life. All this will prepare you to dwell with Them and receive additional creative power in the life to come.”
-Gerald Causse
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- What creations bring me joy?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
NATURE LEARNERS: Listen to this talk while outside in nature and ponder my personal stewardship to the earth.
MY THOUGHTS:
Did you notice how Bishop Causse talked about the different types of creation where we use our personal learning styles? I love that every person on the earth is a creator and we can use our gifts and talents to bless the lives of those around us. We can partner with our Creator in everything we do. –Erin
