Logic

Chris gave me a blessing yesterday. It was beautiful and I felt the spirit. It was not fortune telling or witchcraft (a friend was asking me what blessings were all about). Chris simply placed his hands on my head and said a prayer through the power of the priesthood. He blessed me to have peace and comfort, to look for truth and to look to Church History and the examples of those of old. He blessed me to focus on what I have learned through the spirit. I know this blessing came from God. After the blessing, I started thinking about those who joined the LDS Church many years ago. I started thinking about why they did it and their testimony of truth. I also read John 1 to look for truth. I read it as a child would. I felt my Savior's love. I had this thought come to mind. Use Logic Katherine. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

People all over the world are trying to believe in him, whether they know it or not. They are trying to make sense of how we are, who we are and why we are. No matter what you believe in, you have Faith, or at least a sliver of hope, to believe it, to believe in a higher power and purpose of some sort. We know who that power comes from, but most everyone believes in a higher power of some sort. God is not looking for excuses to throw people into Hell. God is Love! He will accept belief and Faith in whatever form you have to offer it, as long as it takes you a step closer to him and to Christ and Christ's characteristics and to truth. Faith is not a one time event. Faith is a process, a journey. This I know is true.  

I have been wrestling with myself the last several months. Satan puts dark contentious thoughts in my mind. God puts thoughts of peace, clarity, truth, common sense/logic in my mind. God loves his children. All of us. He loves you, he loves me. Love is my foundation of Truth and Logic. Everything else that I believe in and know is built on that foundation.
