Day 98:
-Read: Moroni 8-9
-Mark: Moroni 9:20
“Our capacity to feel controls our behavior in many ways, and by inaction when our feelings prompt us to do good, we deaden that capacity to feel…A sex saturated society cannot feel the needs of its suffering members because instead of developing the love that looks outward, it turns man selfishly inward…we have ears, but cannot hear, not only the promptings of God but also the pleas of men…We shut out people, nature, and God.”
~ Elder Neal A. Maxwell
Something to think about: How do you respond to promptings or feelings that you should
do something?
With this question, I feel like if there's ever a question....go with your gut feelings. If you feel like you've done something wrong, but you aren't 100% sure or if friends are telling you that you're fine; better safe than sorry, right? It just seems logical to me! When your eternity is on the line, I would think you would want to just go with those promptings!
If you have a feeling you should take cookies to someone, or just drop by and check up on someone but you don't exactly know why...do it anyway! And even if nothing huge comes out of it, you still did something nice for someone, and God appreciates when we take care of His children!
We need to strive to be the best we can and stay close to God and His spirit so we can better be instruments in His hands and be able to be prompted.
