I had the coolest lesson today in Sunday school! It really hit me in a new light! We talked about the Holy Ghost, and it was presented that the Holy Ghost is a man who gave up his chance to ever get a physical body to dwell within us. That is the coolest thing I've ever heard! It really made me think that we cannot ever take the Holy Ghost for granted! He gave his life, and made a great sacrifice to help us get through this tough life. Another thing we talked about was how sometimes we just don't know how the lord uses the Holy Ghost to work through us to help his children, or even ourselves. Sometimes we get promptings that make NO sense, then we follow and see why. Or we don't follow, and see why. The teacher told this story from her mission where they were guided to this house in the middle of no where. They knocked and no one answered. They were so discouraged, and then felt that they should go through this forest. They wandered aimlessly for about 20 minutes, wondering why they felt they should go that way, there was obviously nothing. So they went back, just about the time they reached the house they had earlier knocked, a woman came out and asked if they had knocked on her door earlier. They said yes, and she said she was in the shower, which is why she didn't answer. Them wandering aimlessly in the forest was just the amount of time the woman needed to get dressed and meet them!
Isn't that the best example of blind faith? They followed the spirit, and had no idea why, but then they found out. The Lord has a bird's eye view of everything, so something that seems silly to us can just turn out just the way we'd hoped if we follow the spirit. I love that little "coincidences" that happen turn out to be so meaningful and important in our progression.
