Epiphany

The other day I was noticing someone I thought was far from the world's current standard of beauty and I wondered, "When we are resurrected, will God make us all beautiful?"  God answered me immediately.  "But she is already beautiful!  Can't you see?"  And the amazing thing -- I could!  What a beautiful answer to what I didn't even realize was a prayer.

There are so many things in this one experience.  One, that I have been blessed, yet again, to have God speak to me.  Just as he spoke to Nephi, just as He has spoken to many others.  It's not an audible voice.  It's like a thought, but it's not mine and it's in words.  It is very real.  And it is a privilege.

Two, that whenever we ponder things, we are praying!  I think this must be part of "praying without ceasing."  Just a part.

Three, by suggestion of a sister who contributed in Relief Society, I have been praying for a feeling of "equalness" that will allow me to better love the people around me.  What a gift God has given me in this one tremendous insight.  I will forever be grateful for this piece that helps me to love all people better.

God is so good to me.
