virtue #2

Blessings from being morally clean and having the Holy Ghost with you because of it.
Teach us things
Help us to remember things
Gives us peace.
Spirit of truth that will testify of Christ
Speak with the tongue of angels.
Show us the things which we should do
Holy Spirit is our guide.
Constant companion

There are many great things that the spirit brings into our life. We are lost in a sense when we aren't worthy to have the spirit because He does not guide us. He cannot dwell in an unclean/unworthy body. I know I love when I feel the spirit in my life. And can't imagine being in a place where I don't have him in my life.
One time I lost an envelope that had money orders in it for large amounts. I lost them in a canyon in the middle of the night, on a very windy night. When I realized they had fallen out of my purse I was devastated. I immediately knelt in prayer and felt a sense of peace wash over me. I wasn't told that I would find the money but I just knew it was going to be okay. Since it was late at night there wasn't much point looking for them right then. So we got up early in the morning and walked to the place where we had sat to watch a movie which was a big concrete slab. As we walked I still felt a sense of peace, I felt like it would be there. Tucked on the side of it was my envelope of money. Had it been on the other side it would have been blown away, instead of just being blown up against the slab. I know the spirit was with me at that time.

Why do we partake of the bread and water? John 6:54 "Whoso earth my flesh and drinkers my blood hath eternal life." When we partake pf the sacrament we can be forgiven for our sings. We need to be clean to return to Heavenly Father and have eternal life with him. We promise to 1. Always remember him 2. Keep his commandments 3. Take his name upon us If we can do the frist two then the third should come naturally. Taking his name upon us makes us a representative of Christ, We need to be like Him and be a good example of Christ If we are always thinking of Christ then it should be easy to keep the commandments cause we know what he would do.I try to remember that I am a witness of Christ. When I partake of the sacrament and take his name upon me I am a representative of Him. I want people to be able to see his image in my countenance. If I always remember the Savior then it is easier to keep the commandments and if I am doing those things I am a better representative of...

Paying tithing has never been hard for me. It's something that was second nature. I remember one time I took money I had set aside for tithing to use to go to the movie or buy treats, When I took it the thought came to me that something bad was going to happen because I took money set aside for tithing. I don't remember exactly what happened but there was a negative consequence of some kind, like I lost $5 of that money or something. It has stuck with me though and reminds me to pay my tithing and never take from the Lord what I have set aside for him. Other blessings of paying tithing come in the form or clothes being given to us, things we need being on sale, or items lasting longer.  I know that the Lord blesses us in ways we don't even know when we pay a full tithe.
