Wonderful Wednesday

Today's Wonderful Wednesday is for simple promptings of the spirit.

This week has been one full of simple promptings and revelations from the spirit.

The first came on Sunday when I had a feeling to read my patriarticle blessing during the sacrament. So I dug it out of its home, probably bad if I had to dig for it in order to read it. As I was reading my blessing I was filled with love and a sense of peace knowing what God had promised me and that all these things are mine to have. What struck my the most though was the last line, the closer. It said something along the lines that these blessings are mine based upon my faith. I thought that was kind of interesting I have heard a lot of people say that their blessing confirm these promised blessings based upon their faithfulness and obedience to the commandments of God. To be truthful I always thought that was what mine said but it simply said the blessings are mine upon my faithfulness. The second revelation came at that time the greatest dreams and desires of my heart are mine to have, in Gods timing, but they are mine-minding that I remain faithful. I thought this was interesting for the greatest thing I struggle with is keeping hope and faith alive. I have always believed that faith=hope=happiness. When ever I remain truly hopeful things have happened. So thats the key.

The third was prompting. I kept getting a prompting to read the entire talk by Elder Holland entitled "He Loved Them Unto the End." So last night I did. Can I tell you it is the best talk ever. A summary of the message is this, through the pain and hardships of Gethsemane Christ never turned his back on what he was sent to do. He continued to love us. He never stooped loving us and he never will.

I am grateful for simple promptings and revelations.
