I Will Testify!

I have been pondering my life quite a bit lately and all the areas I want to improve in. Despite trying my best to be obedient and do the Lord's will, like most of us, I fall way short most of the time. But I keep trying every day to live better than the day before. I reach for spiritual highs each day. Sometimes I am successful in attaining them, sometimes not. On the days that I do reach it, I consider those times times of grace, because God knows when my spirit hungers for the things of Him, and He blesses me accordingly.

This morning, I had another of those moments where, when as I concentrated on the things of heaven, the thought again came to me: If this was my last day on earth, what would I do with it? And just like before, the answer came easily. I would spend it proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, sharing my testimony of God and His plan, and help to bring souls to Him.

I spent this morning seeking the Lord's guidance in what I should write, what He would have me write. so here it is:
Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ love us more than we can possibly comprehend. They want nothing but happiness for us, nothing but good things. They also want us to understand that the only way to achieve this happiness is through our obedience and devotion to Them.

I've had some amazing spiritual experiences over the past year or so, experiences too sacred to share with anyone, and I will keep seeking those experiences, striving with all my heart to be worthy of them. I have said this before, but I want to be so at peace and at one with the Lord that if I were to pass from this earth tomorrow, I would hear my Lord say, "Well done!" I long for this with my entire being. I long to see the face of my Savior. I long to kneel at His feet and worship Him. I long to feel my Father's embrace, and I really long to help bring souls back to Him.

So, I will spend the rest of my earthly life and beyond witnessing over and over of the Savior's love. I have to. Some hearts will be open to it, some will not, and that is okay. What matters is that I testify. The Lord knows my heart. He knows the righteous desires it holds, just as He knows yours. He knows my pains, my weaknesses, my joys, and my sorrows, just as He knows yours. Nothing is hidden from Him. Since He descended beneath all things, we CANNOT hide anything from Him, so it's pointless to try, because with Him, I can do all things.
The Lord is my Rock and my Redeemer. I pray that He will be this for all of us.
