Leann and Melissa continue their discussion about reverence, talking about the true meaning of reverence and how showing reverence helps increase and demonstrate love for Heavenly Father and others.
Ponder Questions:
Am I following through with what I was asked to do by Heavenly Father?
Am I showing reverence for my Creator?
Do I have an attitude of reverence?
Am I feeling “wonder and awe” for all things?
Am I being casual in my attitude?
Is my life reverent?
Am I asking for more?
Am I too casual in my attitude?
Am I reverent in all aspects of my life?
Do I have reverence for all of God’s creations?
Do I have reverence for other people?
Invitation:
Look for that sense of “wonder and awe” in all things to increase your reverence.
