Our wards RS theme this year is "Receive the Gift." In Section 88 of the D&C it talks about the different areas of heaven and who will go to the celestial, terrestrial, etc. It says we will be quickened according to the glory that we are receiving. EVERYONE will have their bodies changed to their particular Glory. But verse 32 says some will return to their old self because that is what they are comfortable with and "willing to receive". It all comes down to our own choices.
We will choice what we are most comfortable with even though we have all the options available to us!
Our Sunday school reading assignment is John 3. So, John is saying that Jesus wasn't sent here to make everyone feel bad but so everyone could be saved. But some people don't want that. Verse 20 says they don't want to feel guilty for the sins they committed so they don't come to the light.
I think lots of us need to kick ourselves out of our comfort zone and be willing to be a bit more "uncomfortable" so we can get the get we really need. And that is to be comfortable with light and spiritual things and goodness. Whether it is serving the Lord in positions we don't love or kicking our own favorite sin to the curb, I bet we all have things we can improve on. This puts us closer to the Light and more comfortable with Christ.
