Have you ever watched God work a mighty miracle in your heart? Have you ever felt that your heart is so full it might literally burst? The joy that I feel at this moment in my life is beyond words….but I want to try to capture it and write it down. I want to hold onto the precious truths that have been poured into my soul. I want to remember all the tiny miracles and tender mercies the Lord has shown me daily.
It has been a journey that started for me in May. If you were to take a look back in time just one year ago, I was obviously in a much different place in my life spiritually. I have always believed in God and in His son, Jesus Christ, however I have not been a true disciple of Christ. How could I claim to be His follower when I did not follow His commandment to love and serve ALL His children. I definitely did not follow His commandment to Judge Not. I was also holding onto grudges and allowing the great deceiver to whisper in my ear often. As I look back over many past experiences and think of all the people I have crossed paths with, I cringe and my heart hurts. For I know my thoughts, words and actions were not full of love. And the most important thing I have learned on my journey is that LOVE is the answer to everything. We are here to love each other.
I have wrestled with whether or not I want to write these things on my blog. I realize it is very different for me to talk about things of a spiritual nature. Many will welcome inspiration. Some will not. I pray that the testimony I share here in the future will strengthen you and build you up.
My joy is so great and my heart is so full that I cannot stop myself from wanting to sing it from the rooftops! God is real!! Jesus Christ is real!! There is a reason we are here. We each have a very important mission to fulfill.
I don’t have a lot of time to post tonight but want to leave you with these scripture that speak to me. And a song that I love.
“Behold, He changed their hearts: yea, He awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word;" Alma 5:7
“ …a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, and they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God.” Alma 5:13
“….ye have experienced a change of heart, and ….. have felt to sing the song of redeeming love…” Alma 5:26
