Dear Sisters,
The companionship of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest blessings we can enjoy
in mortality. It is our choice as to what extent we experience the Holy Ghost in our
lives. Sisters, do you recognize the Holy Spirit in your lives each day. If not, you are
living beneath your privileges as a daughter of our Heavenly Father. Our Heavenly
Father wants us to receive the marvelous blessings that can come through this wonderful
gift he has given to us. We must accept this gift, and learn to recognize it. We must
be careful not to hinder, disregard, or quench the Spirit in our lives. Learning to hear
and understand the Spirit takes considerable effort. But the Lord has promised that
the faithful will “receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that
[they may] know the mysteries and peaceable things – that which bringeth joy, that which
bringeth life eternal” (D&C 42:61).
It is our prayer that each of us will make it a priority to seek and recognize the spirit in our lives.
With Love, The 8th Ward Relief Society
