Elder Randall K. Bennett spoke about the choice of eternal life. Many people assume that after so many small mistakes or after one big mistake they are no longer offered the gift of eternal life. That is not true.
"Your eternal destiny will not be the result of chance, but of choice. It is never too late to begin to choose eternal life!"
Elder Bennett tell the story of his close experience of drowning and how the lifeguard watched him go out, knowing he'd be captured by the current and then waited until Bennett cried for help, to step in. This story can be related to our Heavenly Father. Our Lord, watches us, knowing all, into trials and rough currents. He is our lifeguard, waiting for us to turn to him and ask for help, guidence, or comfort, and he will. He will always be there to help us and encouraging us to come back to him, to have eternal life.
"I can't stress too strongly that descisions determine destiny. Youc an't make eternal decisions without eternal consequences." - President Monson
Each of us are childen, sons and daughters of a Heavenly King. We each have a divine right and a destiny. It is not by chance we came down to Earth, it is not by chance that we go through the challenges we go through. It is not by chance that a most powerful God, cares deeply about each of us. It is not by chance.
"You knew that here in mortaily, there would be afflictions and adversity, sorrow and suffering, test and trials to help you grow and progress. You also knew that you could continue making correct choices, repent of incorrect choices and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ inherit eternal life."
Are we choosing to do feel, think, and do things that remind us where our goal is? Are we striving to live worthily every day for eternal life? Are you being the best you can be? Are you choosing eternal life?
