Doctrine and Covenants 11:12-14

"And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that spirit which leadeth to do good--yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy;
And then shall ye know, or by this shall ye know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of righteousness, in faith believing in me that you shall receive."
Doctrine and Covenants 11:12-14


This is a cool scripture about the Spirit... trust the Spirit, because it helps us to do good things, to be better people.  It also brings light into our minds, helping us to think better I would imagine. :)  and it fills our souls with joy... now, *that* is cool. :)  filled... you know, like if you walk too fast, it just spills out all over everyone around you. :)  that is a cool image. :)  And *then*.... by this... because of this spirit which is leading you to do great things and be better, and is topping you off with happiness.... by this same Spirit, you can know anything that you want that has anything to do with righteousness (and seriously, most things do... I doubt that the Spirit will give you the knowledge of the combination to the bank vault down the street, or help you cheat on a test... but happier things, definitely).  And then, here is our part... we have to desire, and believe.  We always get off so easy. :)  not that it isn't difficult at times to do those things... but comparatively.  we work so hard to get those things for ourselves... happiness, goodness, judgment... knowledge, light... and the Spirit gives them to us in return for desire and faith.  And no matter who we are, we can find some desire within... we all want to become better, to improve ourselves and our lives.  To find out what we are about... and even if you can't get your heart and mind around the entire gospel plan... which, hey... is hard.  big as the universe, so it's understandable to struggle with just the basics sometimes... but no matter what our struggles are, we can find some faith in something.  In Christ, who lived and died and lives again... for us.  In the scriptures, which if nothing else, help us to have a better day when we read from them... in tithing, one of those few things in this life that we can achieve perfection in. :)  Whatever it is... you have a particle of faith, and probably a huge tree of desire... pick something from the tree, exercise the tiniest amount of faith... pray, ponder... try the experiment.  see what happens. :)  Exercise those flabby spiritual muscles. :)
