Today at church our speaker was discussing a talk by Russell M Nelson named ask, seek, knock and she gave this quote:
Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees. It is one of the most marvelous gifts the Lord has offered to mortals. It is His generous invitation to “ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”1
It is amazing how sometimes you will hear something that you have heard since you were 8 years old and then it speaks to you in a different way. Since childhood I have known that we are given the "gift" of the Holy Ghost after baptism. Today when she read this quote I was struck by the truly generous gift it is. I wondered about how different my life would be without the ability to ask my Heavenly Father for something or about a decision and to receive an answer to my prayers. It is nearly impossible to think of how I could live my life and make decisions without this gift. I have thought a lot about how much I use this gift. I am thankful for this gift and will try to remember this gratitude daily.
