Agency

(Bednar, Increase in learning, page 3) "the gift of agency is the capacity and power of "independent"action." (Quotes added.)

Satan takes away our agency by taking away our freedoms, by making us dependent.  Dependent on the government.  We need self-reliance to combat this. Be agent. Act and not be acted upon.

Likewise Satan wants us too treat people like objects rather than agents/people. To combat this we need to look at people through spiritual eyes. The world looketh upon the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh upon the heart."

How do we look with spiritual eyes upon the heart?  We look at a person's potential.  They are spirit sons and daughters of God first.  "Each person has greatness". (Oliver DeMille)
