"But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words."
Alma 32:27
I love the idea here of experimenting with the Gospel. Even if we aren't sure, even if we have the tiniest amount of faith... if we go with it and don't try to crush it, God can work with us and help us get to the next level. As Christ tells us in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." ... The first step in the experiment is just to open the door and let Christ in. As we do, he will teach us as we walk with him, and give us more things to try and to learn as we grow in faith.
Today, let's give it a try. Let's read, and pray, and open the door. As we invite Christ in, let's also listen to him and take his advice, and see how things change for us. Let's let God into our lives, and feel how much he loves us, and trust him as he guides us to further experiments as we learn to trust him and follow his advice to make better choices and live better lives, for ourselves and the world around us.
