Answers are Blessings

There are a lot of things I can do in the gospel that build my faith.
Steps that make sense and are kind of easy to fulfill.
Reading scriptures, saying prayers, going to church, etc.  
They get me where I need to be.

And then come the times when it feels like I can't move forward anymore.
I get stuck and don't know what's next or what more I can do.

That's when I have to make my prayers more sincere.
I need to really ASK the Lord and SEEK His help.
I have to admit to the Lord that I don't have all the answers.

His answers may come as instructions on what I need to do better.
Or something I need to change.
Maybe a different direction I need to take.
What I need to remember is that His answer will always be a blessing.

Even if it's hard to do.
Especially, if it's hard to do.

Be Fruitful

In the Old Testament, there are several times when the Lord tells someone,
 "...be fruitful and multiply..."
I have always just equated this phrase to having a family. 

But, in the New Testament it says,
"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance."
Now, being fruitful to me means to seek for these things of the Spirit and spread them throughout the world.
