I went to the temple with a lot of anger and bitterness in my heart.
I was facing some challenging life circumstances which didn’t seem fair.
But I had heard from others that attending the temple could bring miracles in your personal life, so I decided to give this a chance.
That singular visit didn’t take away all of my anger, but I could feel my heart softening.
I kept returning repeatedly, thinking that my Savior could work a miracle for me.
When Ezekiel described his vision of the waters flowing from the temple, he mentioned one interesting characteristic.
“These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.” (Ezekiel 47:8)
The water was healing.
Being in the house of the Lord can heal our hearts and souls, no matter the amount of damage that has been done.
And it’s not just the “magic of the temple.”
It’s Jesus.
Jesus’ power can soften and remove the hardest corners.
I have learned that being in His house allows His healing waters to flow.
Happy Studying!
