The Holy Ghost speaks to your mind and your heart
Perhaps this phrase has a different meaning to you now.
Are you only allowing the spirit to talk to you with your thoughts…
Could you use His extra guidance by learning to manage your emotions/heart?
I can testify that using the two together has given me a powerful witness of many truths in my life, and has helped shaped my testimony of Jesus Christ.
Before I learned these things I was less confident in my ability to Hear Him, because I didn’t know how to manage my thoughts or my emotions (mind and heart).
As I worked on these skills, my ability to hear and feel the spirit increased exponentially and I became so much more confident in what His voice sounded/felt like to me.
My hope is as you practice these skills, your ability to hear/feel the Holy Ghost will increase and that you will be more confident in His voice and messages for you.
A Change of Heart
Since learning that my thoughts create my feelings, and my feelings drive my actions I began to understand the phrase … “a change of heart” in a different way.
A Change of heart is a change feeling which comes from a change of thinking.
Wanting to become more like Christ, I started “practicing” filling my life with more love, laughter, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness.
To acquire these attributes I had to also cultivate more patience, long-suffering, faith, trust, and humility.
Don’t get me wrong – I am in no way perfect at this! But I’ve come to enjoy the process of “practicing” everyday. I’m not eager to see where I can improve (just like you), but I love the joy that comes from a consistently changing heart (just like you).
The Holy Ghost continues to speak to me (probably as He always did, I just didn’t know how to recognize it before). I hear Him better and with more confidence. My relationship with my Savior is more joyful, and filled with hope.
I want to share this joy and hope with you! And help you Hear Him better to! That is why I do this work and write these posts. For Him, for You! (heart heart)
As you do this work for you – it will trickle down into your family. Your relationships will be filled with more love, understanding, compassion and forgiveness. You’re example may influence your children’s thoughts and behaviors. It’s worth a try!
