Come Follow Me - Book of Mormon
June 1-7 "Have Ye Experienced a Mighty Change in Your Hearts?"
My heart feels like it has been broken a few too many times in these past months. This is a frightening time for us all. I've never been more impressed by the timeliness of these Come Follow Me lessons than this week.
We talk about changing one's heart and just what we need to do to induce such a transformation. Alma gives us a slew of personal interview questions we can ask ourselves to learn if we are doing enough. This week's study session gets a little real as I mention how the lesson correlates to the pain and anguish felt in the United States, and indeed the world, this week.
Please be kind, the world is in so much pain there's no more room for xenophobia and racism. God does not judge based on skin color or social status, we have no right to do such a thing in order to build our own frail platform to stand on. I am part of the problem, as I'm sure so many millions more are, where I stay silent because I am paralyzed by the fact that I do not understand enough to be able to contribute. That is going to end this week. As a parent now, I understand more than ever the importance to teach children what prejudices look like, what racism does, and how it can break hearts and end lives. I'm going to do better, and I would love to hear any suggestions you have for making this change in my home.
