Whereas I always thought that I knew the scriptures pretty well in my head, He has slowly been writing them on my heart. Thanks for your great post.Dan Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478846532686229790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738015707983587606.post-50652723312708334062008-09-21T22:53:00.000-06:002008-09-21T22:53:00.000-06:00I just read Elder Lund's talk from April General C...I just read Elder Lund's talk from April General Conference about opening our hearts to the Holy Ghost. It goes along well with this. Also, Elder Hales came to our stake conference today and talked about learning Heavenly Father's will for us and how to pray and receive answers to those prayers. <BR/>A long time ago, when my testimony wasn't as strong as it is now, I had just read The Book of Mormon and was praying about its truthfulness. I was having a hard time understanding that if Heavenly Father loves us so much why He would allow the Nephites to be slaughtered. I had been praying and pondering about the sacrifices and obedience that is required to gain eternal life. I prayed and asked to remember the love that I had for Heavenly Father. Needless to say, my answer was overwhelming and sweet beyond words. How I long to do all that I can to always feel His love, and to remember how I love Him!Terry Neff Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026308108060372481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738015707983587606.post-18165387932773522522008-09-21T14:39:00.000-06:002008-09-21T14:39:00.000-06:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts, these your th...Thank you for sharing your thoughts, these your things I needed to read today.The Girls' Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875898389660473901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738015707983587606.post-63749572706598609802008-09-21T14:23:00.000-06:002008-09-21T14:23:00.000-06:00So wonderful.

As literal children of a Father in heaven, we are blessed with His power to combat against Satan if we but ask and seek!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this, Candace. I really enjoyed reading it.
