I absolutely love this quote!
It made me step back and evaluate how I was spending my time during the day. I quickly realized that I was wasting a lot of my time, and instead wanted to invest it, so I can fill the measure of my creation. I know we are all here for a divine purpose, and each of us has a divine destiny to fulfill. I hope to make better use of my time, so I can fulfill my own purpose and destiny.

Genesis 3:21 (Moses 4:27) “Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them.” Notice who clothed Adam and Eve in their coats of skin? While Satan left Adam and Eve to make their fig leaves apron by themselves, God personally clothed them. In order to clothe a person in coats of skin ( presumably ) an animal sacrifice would have had to be made. There is tremendous symbolism in this with regards to our Savior, Jesus Christ. He would perform the ultimate sacrifice and inevitably die for our sins. His atonement is the only thing that will be able to truly "cover" our sins/mistakes. Atonement means to cover. "Each of us can be covered through the atonement of the Savior. A covering that provides warmth, comfort, and blots out our sins." ( YouTube video - Aprons of Fig Leaves and Coats of Skins.) The coats of skin is evidence of God's wisdom being superior to man's. ( Wikipedia ) I love the scripture found in Abraham 2:8, "My ...

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #1. Fig Leaves

 I have always been fascinated with the scripture, "And I did cause that the women should spin, and toil, and work, and work all manner of fine linen, yea, and cloth of every kind, that we might clothe our nakedness; and thus we did prosper in the land - thus we did have continual peace in the land. . . " found in Mosiah 10:5. What did women making clothes have to do with prosperity and peace? I did a mini study on this verse and similar verses which I will share later; however, today, I would like to share my thoughts on a couple verses found in Genesis 4. One talks about Adam and Eve covering themselves with fig leaves and the other mentions God covering Adam and Eve with coats of skin. This is what I learned: At the end of each post, there will be a free printable to use for your own study. Fig Leaves Genesis 3:7 (Moses 4:13) - And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. What did...
