The last few days I have been all kinds of emotional. I cry when I am happy, I cry when I am sad, I cry when I am unsure. Well, I've been all those things, therefore; I've used a lot of Kleenex.
To get a bit more personal, I will share a bit of an experience I had today. I was feeling down about something I've been wanting to happen in my life. I started thinking how I've tried to be faithful and righteous and I didn't understand why I see people who aren't doing all they should be doing and seem to get blessings. The devil on my shoulder said "why keep doing what is right when it doesn't seem to get me what I've been asking for, when others get it who aren't doing what is right"?
In church today we sang "Do What is Right". The last verse of that song says "Eyes that are wet, soon ere long will be tearless, Blessings await you in doing what's right". As I sung that song, I realized that was my answer. Even though I've shed some tears for that thing which I don't yet have... my tears will be wiped away and blessings will be mine for the taking.
One of the speakers also shared a quote from one of my favorite talks of all time. Jeffery R. Holland says "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven, but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come."
I am so glad I have a Father in Heaven who is mindful of me, and helped me to get that message today when I seemed to need it the most.
