Alma is talking to me this morning, about doing the best I can
where I am at, instead of wishing I could be in charge of everything. The Lord has
given me a call and a responsibility, and to honor him, and trust him, it is my
job to fulfill what he wants me to do, not what I want to do. This is a recurring
message for me the last two days. This is what I got out of the Sunday School lesson
about Eli and his sons yesterday as well. To honor the Lord is to worry about what
he wants, not what I want or what other people want. I forget to let that guide
me in everything I do… stuff at school, and with my family and friends. I read a
quote recently about our goal should be to be completely let by the Holy Ghost in
every moment of our life. At the time, my pride rebelled against it, but today I
see that in order to be always doing the Father’s will, we have to know what it
is all the time. And the Holy Ghost is the way we can know that.
I feel like in some things I have forged ahead without finding
out if what I am doing is the right thing, or is His will for me. I am grateful
that he is merciful and that even if I find myself in a mess I created by not listening,
he still loves me and will help as soon as I will truly listen. I pray to be humble
enough to be worthy of that help without having to learn to be humble by suffering
through consequences. But I know that whatever happens, as long as I am trusting
him, that it will be what needs to happen for my growth.
