Patterns of Light: Spirit of Revelation -David A. Bednar


Has there ever been a point in life where the answer is unclear? When there are many good options but you are not sure which one is right? Something that has truly blessed my life is personal revelation. It is revelation from God to tell us what is best for our eternal happiness. He loves us so much and wants the best for us all the time. The only problem is sometimes it is hard to know exactly what he wants us to do with our life because he is not physically standing right beside us. We receive those answers through personal revelation. I stumbled upon this video and it really touched my heart and helped me understand this concept of the gospel of Jesus Christ a little bit more. Answers from God are so important. 
 


This video was something I watched that really helped me in my life. There are points in my life where I want answers now and don't understand what is best for my life. I am slowly learning that we need to trust God and sometimes we need to act on what we feel is the right answer. If it is not the right course of action God will let us know. He loves us too much to leave us in the dark when we are constantly trying to do his will. Something else that helped me realize this is a quote by
 Dallin H.Oaks:

"We will get promptings of the Spirit when we have done everything we can, when we are out in the sun working rather than sitting back in the shade praying for direction on the first step to take. Revelation comes when the children of God are on the move.
So we do all we can. Then we wait upon the Lord for His revelation. He has his own timetable."

We are an impatient people and want answers before we even ask the question. We need to slow down, listen and then act on the answers we are given or act on the step that we feel is right. I am so grateful for personal revelation and the way that it has helped me in my life. Heavenly father truly loves each and everyone of us and will do anything he can to help us but he will never take away the precious gift of agency.
