Who do you trust in?

I will start with my weigh in and then share some thoughts with you. I weighed in at 206.4 on Monday. Two pounds but I am okay with that, as I wrote in my earlier posts there are some things that are beyond my control, and all I can do is my best. I give it my all and place it in the Lord's hands.

The other night, as a family, we were reading in the Doctrine and Covenants section 11. And these few verses struck a cord.

12And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your ^atrust in that^bSpirit which ^cleadeth to do ^dgood—yea, to do ^ejustly, to walk^fhumbly, to ^gjudge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

13Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall ^aenlighten your ^bmind, which shall fill your soul with ^cjoy;

14And then shall ye know, or by this shall you know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of^arighteousness, in faith believing in me that you shall receive.

I knew when I read these words, that the Lord will bless me and aid me in completing my goal. How did I come to know this? My heart first yearned for it, continual promptings came, and then I realized that my future was going to be different, and in order to be able to face it, live it, and accomplish future goals, I needed to be in a better state of health. Is this desire entirely selfish? No. I want to be able to walk and not be weary. I want to have as much energy that I can have to serve and love others. I want to continue to be successful in raising my family. I want to be around as long as I can. And this all requires my health and strength. And I knew because this is a righteous desire that I would be blessed. And I have been, verse 13 describes what has been happening since I begun two weeks ago. I feel joy, I am guided in my choices, and I am confident that what I am doing now is what the Lord desires for me.

I believe these words. I know them to be true. Because I have seen instances in my life where they have already come true. When I trust in the Lord, I am bless with what I desire. It means I need to trust that He knows better than I do. Trust that He will guide and lead the way. Trust that through His atonement I can repent, become better, and overcome my weaknesses. I trust Him, and because of that I am already seeing and feeling the success. Because of that I am encircled about with His love. I am becoming better, I am receiving the desires of my heart through trusting him.

So I ask reader, In whom do you trust? Who do you allow to comfort, lead, love, and understand you? Can they understand you completely? Are they aware of your heart, your intentions, your desires? The Savior is the only person I know of that can offer what you need, because He is the only one who has been there first. He is the only one who has felt your sorrow, your pain, your weaknesses, and He is the only one who knows your desires, your intentions, your hopes. Test it out, ask and ye shall receive.
