I had some experiences with personal revelation recently that support patterns that I have experienced throughout my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Answers are never complicated. Simplicity is the language of the Spirit. Simple phrases or basic clarity are common for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Even when I am wrong, God is always encouraging and gentle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Peace comes when I submit to what God tells me, even if it isn&#8217;t what I wanted to hear. This weekend I second-guessed some revelation about a talk I was giving. When I finally trusted the original impression, my mind became settled and calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Sometimes Heavenly Father helps me step away from the experience and see a wider perspective on an issue. He helps me see that yes, today might be hard, but the difficulty is there for my benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep showing love to people and be your charming self, and miracles will happen. There will be miracles that you won&#8217;t see because they are taking place in people&#8217;s hearts and minds, but they are happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mom<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timothy is currently serving his mission in Palau, and this was my letter to him this week.
