We all have a destiny, we just have to find it

While in Sunday School, we got into the subject about how getting closer to Christ can follow along our gifts and talents. One of the brethren mentioned how he was a black belt, but it had taken him several years to get to that point. Through working through certain skills and practicing every day, he was able to build up to be a black belt. He used this analogy in a spiritual end. We all start as white belts, but with practice and working on the skills of the Lord, we will eventually become the black belts God desires us to be. I recently started reading a book called "What would a Holy Woman do"? Although it pertains to women, it's often nice to think about what we can do to become spiritually closer to our Heavenly Father. One of the things I would like to point out is the blessings involved of doing the Lords work. We don't particularly earn blessings, rather we receive them if we allow Heavenly Father to. He has those blessings waiting for us if we just allow Him to give them. Even those who aren't a member of the church can receive blessings. Our trials are not forgotten, in fact, they are used to challenge us, but also allow us to recognize the blessings Heavenly Father will provide. We can learn to recognize these blessings by practicing our efforts through our studies and prayers. If we do that, our spiritual white belts will eventually turn into the black belts God has been preparing for us. These spiritual black belts allow us to fight back the adversary and become closer to our Heavenly Father. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. As white belts, it is easy to identify the big obvious ones that happen during our big trials, but as we grow and understand more of the Lord, we learn of the little things He has provided for us too. A challenge that has been given to me is to write down a blessing every day, as there will be blessings found every day. Sometimes it is merely getting to the train in time and sometimes it's something as big as happening to be there during a Seizure to call for help. The more I have studied and understood God's work, the more I have learned to identify them. So as we journey on through our life, just remember that we can be a spiritual black belt if we strengthen ourselves through the Lords teachings. Every trial we face will build up our stage of black belt as long as we allow Him in our lives. I leave this with you with my testimony in knowing Christ lives, he knows us and wants to help us become better and spiritually minded, and I say these things through Christ's name, Amen.
