Just as our bodies physically learn how to roll over, sit up, crawl, stand, walk and then run, so do we learn of life and eternal laws by specific precepts, step by step, line upon line.
We were not scolded by our Earthly Parents when we stumbled during our first tentative walking steps. Neither do our Heavenly Parents consider it necessary to punish or shame us when we are struggling with the exercises of our mortal experiences in understanding and applying important life skills such as honesty, forgiveness, honor, acceptance, respect or personal virtue.
We each have plenty of time and more to get these concepts “under our belts.” In fact, we have all eternity!
