As a pianist, I have felt the Spirit so many times while playing completely secular pieces of music. ⁣

I’ve felt the Spirit while watching a dance recital. ⁣

I’ve felt the Spirit while watching a TV show that isn’t about anything religious. ⁣

I’ve felt the Spirit while looking at flowers, while reading a book, while driving by new homes that are almost finished. ⁣

In my life, feeling the Holy Spirit has not been contained to just when I’m at church or reading my scriptures. ⁣

There is so much good in the world that isn’t obviously tied to religious purposes. ⁣

But I see the good in accomplishment. ⁣

In learning a new skill. ⁣

In watching someone try their best. ⁣

In feeling the potential of what is to come. ⁣

In happiness and joy, devoid of vulgarness. ⁣

In viewing carefully crafted creations. ⁣⁣

“If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.” – Article of Faith 13

We can pursue talents, and gifts, and skills, and knowledge!⁣

Good things aren’t contained to my church. ⁣

(Although there are so so so many good things within my church.)⁣

But my loving God has given the world so much that goodness is overflowing everywhere. ⁣

What is something (not necessarily church-related) virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy that you’ve been seeking out lately?

Happy Studying!
