How are things going for you right now?
I’ve had a lot of you message me some really difficult things you are having to deal with.
Lost jobs. Scarcity of supplies for young moms. Cancelled trips. Cancelled graduations and performances. Reduced income. Health concerns. Huge unknowns.
Jacob preaches in our Come Follow Me study from this week about how the Spirit speaks of things as they REALLY are.
Isn’t that interesting?
Because we usually associate the Spirit with bringing “happy” emotions.
But if things in your life aren’t really “happy” right now, then that’s not his job at the moment.
I have been shocked but comforted when the Spirit has told me:
To just be sad.
To be disappointed.
To live in a state of “unknown” and not be comfortable with it.
The Spirit confirms my feelings.
“You’re right, this is sad.”
“This is so disappointing to lose that opportunity.”
“Things are about to get really complicated.”
But my favorite part about the Spirit is that he doesn’t just stop with telling us things as they really are.
He also tells us things as they REALLY will be.
He reminds us that the outcome has already been determined.
Christ wins.
And there is peace to be found through him and his example.
So dwell in whatever emotion you are in right now. Pour your soul out to Heavenly Father and let Him send His Holy Spirit to confirm the confusing state we are in right now.
But then allow him to show you how things will be in the future. No matter how long it takes to get there.
There is peace in Christ.
️Happy Studying!
