Revelation
Image from www.lds.org
The sun is streaming through the window. It is caressing my cheek with light, and kissing my soul with gentle, reassuring, warmth. I am suddenly full of peace and hope.
As I sit pondering the mysteries of the world (and the mysteries of my life), I find myself comforted by the rays of Heavenly illumination cascading through the glass. A chorus of angels -- singing just for me -- fills my heart with excitement and joy.
"Hallelujah!"
The gray clouds that shrouded my mind are burned away by rays of revelation.
My eyes are opened. The fog in my brain has lifted.
I can see the light.
The light seems an open portal to Heaven. A portal on fire, that cannot be passed through by mortal feet. I look into the light, but I must turn away before my eyes begin to sting, and swell with pools of salty water. The fire is too glorious to endure directly, and too enticing to look away. The answers come. I am filled with warmth. The flames of revelation burn peace into my soul, and my mind.
Peace.
The world seems like a giant ball, chaotically juggled by the adversary. There is so much pain, sadness, darkness, contention, and despair. The devil laughs in delight at his game of conquering souls and causing misery. His legions are well-equipped, and extremely clever at uncovering and exposing human weakness. Their pace quickens, their efforts intensify -- they are preparing for the final battle. Can you feel it? I can. The greatest tool in their dark weaponry: Fear.
Beware of fear!
Despite the apparent evil that exists in the world, I feel a fire of peace swelling within my chest. Light is permeating my very being. I am ablaze with hope.
Hope.
There is always hope!
The light descending on my cheek, and on my soul, reminds me to wake-up and be alive. Be alive and be happy. Fear cannot overcome faith. Faith is too powerful. My faith is in my Heavenly Father, and I pray to ever be faithful and true! He is All-Powerful, He is loving. I am in His hands, and I have no need to fear.
The light will overcome the darkness, in the end. The outcome of the final battle between good and evil is already written. No matter how many moral earthly battles are lost, the final outcome is victory!
Victory!
Good wins! God wins!
The words are whispered to my soul, "Don't be afraid."
Don't be afraid!

ReplyDeleteAmen. We are about to go to the church and address the women's conference about learning in the temple. Thanks for the inspiration.
