'And they went forth whitersoever they were led by the Spirit of the Lord," Alma 21:16
The voice of my friend came to me in a dream last night that left me shaken as I became aware of her voice. I don't often receive messages in dreams, but it isn't my first either. I'm still trying to figure it all out. Later this morning in my study time I came across this scripture in Alma which has given me great pause and added to my experience.
'They went forth whithersoever they were led by the Spirit.'
Often times I don't want to do what I am doing now. I often feel as though I'm stuck in a place that will never bring me peace or joy. I long for someone who enjoys the scriptures and the words of the prophets as I do. I long for companionship that has its roots deeply planted in the ways of Christ. I need to be more like Mary who said; '...be it done to me according to your word.'
I know my ways are not the Lord's. I know that I cannot possibly know what he knows. Yet still, I long for more, for something that will help me go whithersoever along this path more faithfully and with less longing and emptyness.
Reading further...there is a promise Alma 21:17 "And it came to pass that the Lord began to bless them."
If I can learn more fully to connect these too maybe then I can find the strenght.
