I have been thinking a lot lately about the concept of agency. You know that it is one of the greatest gifts that we have. Even Heavenly Father can never take our agency away. When we lived in the pre-existence there were two plans presented. One that would make people choose the right and all come back and live with God. The other plan would allow us our agency, to prove if we would follow God's commandments and choose to live with him again. Agency was the chosen plan.
Agency is power. It allows control of our own lives and destiny. It gives us hope. Hope in the future, hope that we can be better. It allows us faith, to test it, to grow and nurture it and to be fulfilled by it.
Agency has no excuse. You choose good or you choose evil. Thus giving you a blessing or a consequence.
One of the worst things that could happen would be to have our agency taken away by someone else.
I love agency. I love the simplicity of it. I love the purity of it. I love that it allows me the answers I seek.
Don't take your agency for granted. Treasure it, understand it, own it.
