Following the Spirit

I am grateful for the spirit. I believe that the spirit will guide us and use us as instruments in the lives of others as we are worthy to hear.
There is a great hymn that I have come to love. "Let the holy spirit guide." It reads:

1. Let the Holy Spirit guide;
Let him teach us what is true.
He will testify of Christ,
Light our minds with heaven's view.

The spirit has our best interests at heart. He wants us to succeed. The only way we can is if we are willing to listen. Listen for that still small voice that teaches us all truth. Moroni taught that by the spirit we can know the truth of all things. Christ taught that he would send the "comforter. He would teach us all things and bring all things to our remembrance....

2. Let the Holy Spirit guard;
Let his whisper govern choice.
He will lead us safely home
If we listen to his voice.

Father's work and glory is to see that we make it home to him. He did not leave us alone. The spirit helps us to make choices to listen and then go and do. By following that still small voice, we are able to enter back into the presence of the father.

3. Let the Spirit heal our hearts
Thru his quiet, gentle pow'r.
May we purify our lives
To receive him hour by hour.
Text: Penelope Moody Allen, b. 1939.

Life allows us the opportunity to make choices. We succeed and we fail. It isn't so much what happens to us during this life. It is how we react to what happens to us. How we move forward measures the man. The Atonement makes it possible for us to make corrective action. We are able to repent and continue on that journey. The spirit takes our hand and leads us to a better life. If we allow him to work in our lives. He leads us to healing living waters.
