Feeling Good

Today I had a very humbling experience. I'm not going to go into detail, because it's not my story to tell. But it involved someone very special to me. I felt Heavenly Father's promptings to comfort and to share my feelings with this person. Although part of me felt frustrated, I asked through a silent prayer for help to not judge this person. The effects were immediate. I am constantly surprised with Heavenly Father. I ask for one small thing and he gives me a million. It made me feel so good inside. Afterwards, I was able to put myself in this persons shoes (which wasn't that hard because I had already experienced a similar situation). I was able to completely eliminate all negative feelings surrounding this problem and focus on the more important issue. This person needed to be comforted. I knew right then that I needed to say something, and to let this person know that I love them and so does Heavenly Father.

I am so grateful for experiences like this. I am doing my absolute best to try and apply this to all situations that we face on this earth. I struggle sometimes in sharing my testimony about worldly things because the world doesn't believe in the eternities. I don't believe that life ends here. In fact, I believe life on this earth is only a fraction of our existence, and we were put here to learn....not just to live. Mistakes and hardships are essential to our understanding of what Joy really means. There hasn't been one person on this earth (other than Christ) who was perfect. I need to just let go and allow people the freedom to make their own choices without my judgments. We all have to face the consequences of our choices, whether they be good or bad. What gives me the right to add to that consequence? Now I can't really speak for other serious matters that this world has problems with...I haven't had to deal with them, and I hope to never have to.

I feel closer to this person. I have shared a part of me, unaware as they may be about it, that I haven't shared with many others.
