While I was in the Celestial room of the temple I decided to read my scriptures and so I read Helaman chapter ten. This chapter filled me with the spirit so easily. A couple of versus that I loved were:
4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.
5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.
Isn't it crazy how much freedom is given when our will is in line with the Lord's? On Saturday I attended General Women's conference. President Uchtdorf spoke on obeying all of God's commandments even when we don't understand why because He knows something we don't. It is like a parent putting a plate of broccoli in front of a child. The child doesn't understand why he needs to eat his vegetables but the parent understands and knows it is important. And think of the freedom that child will have with his health if he eats healthy compared to someone who skimps on healthy food choices.
If you would like to watch women's conference you can here. It was so good, I cried because the spirit was so strong!
Love,
