Beauty Of The Spirit

I have watched 3 church movies in the last while.  Two of them had a lot of contention in a good portion of the film.  The other one was about people's misunderstandings of what the LDS church is.  But I noticed that in the first two when it came to the part of people truly sharing the truth, and people getting baptized, the Spirit was so beautiful, so touching, it made my soul stop in my tracks and just feel the Spirit, and truly know that God lives.  

The last movie where it was about people's misunderstandings of the church, finally they interviewed a girl who had joined a while back, she was a convert like me.  The joy she expressed, the gratitude she had for being able to find and join the church was deeply touching.  She had lived in Germany when the wall was up, so joining the church was not easy, but she bubbled over with happiness at finding it.  Again I could feel the Spirit so tangibly when the truth of the church was being conveyed, and people were expressing either their gratitude of joining or you could see the joy of someone being baptized.

I noticed that the Spirit truly does cut through contention, negativity, pain, anger, misunderstanding and indifference.  It really does bring the beauty of Heaven to earth.  Our souls know and feel it.  In all 3 of these scenes where the Spirit came, I could just feel the tears of my spirit welling up.  The Spirit touches us so deeply in a place where we remember Heaven, where we remember Jesus Christ, and Heavenly Father.  Where we remember the beautiful world we came from.  It is a powerful place, yet a very gentle, kind and happy place.  No peace is greater.  I know I often cry in relief when I can feel the Spirit.  

My soul is relieved to feel the purity, beauty, innocence, goodness and light of the Spirit.  In contrast to the negativity I can produce, or am faced with in the world each day, my soul is so grateful to feel the light of Heaven.  This is why it is so important to fill ourselves with the Spirit all day, by partaking in the things that bring the Spirit to us.  By being baptized in the Holy Spirit we have it with us at all times, but only if we do the things that keeps the Spirit happy do we have it with us.  Having the Spirit with us each day, is like living in Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Morning continuously.  Truly this no better way to live!  

I keep the Spirit with me all day by partaking in only those things that keep the Spirit happy, so it stays as my constant companion, filling me with breathtaking light, love, peace, joy and brilliance!
