Life has its wonders, we just have to look for them. It reminds me of the story of the 10 lepers in Luke. 10 miracles happened and 9 went without thanks to God. Did they recognize the full wonder of what had happened or did they just go with the physical relief they got? How wonderful when we are able to look into the goodness of God and find therein our desires.
Thank you for the Bruce R McConkie sacrament excerpt. Our "status" is always dependant on US and how WE choose to feel. In church yesterday we did lesson 18 about Fath in Jesus Christ. I received personal revelation as I listened to the lesson that: Faith in Jesus Christ means to have no pride. When we truly trust him and know that He will clear up our mistakes and shortcomings and it is with Him that our failings are resolved and forgiven-we won't even worry about what other people think; we KNOW that Christ is our Healer and we are willing to give him our all. WOW!!! :) Such a new thing to realize that I don't always have to be putting up a wall between me and other people because I am afraid that they will hurt me. I don't have to be guarded and try to show my best side and none of my weaknesses. My failings only matter to the Lord and He will fix them. Repentance requires accepting and recognizing my shortcomings-when I stop trying to hide them from other people I will be free to take them to my Savior and lay them at Him feet. I love Jesus Christ so much! My love for him has grown! I understand things about the atonement that I didn't before.. the words I have can't really describe it but now I KNOW that He has my love above anyone else. It isn't a perfect love but I want it to be.
OH!!! that reminds me. Did I tell you how much i loved the Neal A Maxwell talk "content with the things alloted unto us"? because I DO!! And I thank you for sending it to me:)
