The Nature of God

In my continued reading of D&C 88 I became sidetracked in studying the Nature of God our loving Father in Heaven. This came as a result of pondering verses 11-13 which read as follows:

11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.

Specifically verse 12 and 13 which speak of light proceeding forth from God to fill space and give life to all things. This scripture really stuck out to me of how God can have a body similar to man's and yet still be omnipresent. This thinking led me to reread a talk given by Elder Holland, which can be found here, given in the October 2008 General Conference entitled "The Grandeur of God." What a wonderful blessing it is to know that God is our Eternal Father in Heaven and that He loves each and every one of us individually. As Elder Holland pointed out, God shows each of us the same love and compassion that Jesus showed to the Jews back when he lived His life on earth. Daily we are recipients of His blessings if for nothing more than the air we breathe, although I believe we each receive so much more. If we look more closely we will see the many blessings we have as a result of the love of a Father in Heaven that wants the best for His children.
