Reverence
(talk to Charlotte Third Ward Primary; corrections and updates made)
What is reverence? Reverence is showing respect, honor, and love for our Heavenly
Father, for his Son, Jesus Christ, and for all of his creations. Some people think reverence is just
quietly sitting during meetings. But it is more than that. Reverence should be a way of life. It
should be in everything we do. Reverence begins in our home with our families. Prayer is an
important part of learning reverence in our homes. We need to have family prayers, scripture
study, gospel discussions, bearing of testimonies with our families, and personal prayers. By
learning reverence in our homes we learn to be reverent in other places. One of the most
important places is church. In Leviticus 19:30 we read: “Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lorp.” We all should work together as families to lean
reverence in all that we do.
