I was in Target the other day getting some supplies for the week to come with my wonderful companion. As we strolled through the music section looking for some gospel music for my companion, one of the assistants came and started to help us out. My companion was looking for a new CD to see if it was out yet and the assistant happily helped us in our search for this CD. When we could not find it, she mentioned that it could probably be found during the Christmas holidays that are coming up. We mentioned that we were messengers of Christ, almost off-handedly. Never once did she see the name tags we bear, but she said she knew us because of the Spirit we brought with us. Because of this, she wanted to know more about who we are and what we teach. As we continued to talk with her, we left her with our number and a card to mormon.org so that when she gets some time for us to come over, she will give us a call. All this came about because of the Spirit we carry as missionaries by being obedient to the Lord's commands.
What I have seen from God today is a cause and effect situation. That by living His standards, we are able to feel His presence more. That all the missionary rules that we have are for us to be able to have His Spirit more in abundance in our lives so that someone like this Target assistant is able to feel of His Spirit through us and thus begin the change of heart which will enable God to bless their lives more fully. How has living the commandments helped you to feel of Gods love and presence more in your life?
