What Matters Most Is What's In Your Heart

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.1

The Lord truly looks upon the heart of man. Is not that which matters most through this time of life? Things come along our way and we go forth and do what is needed. The thoughts come and go this is true, not everything is set in stone. So when we do eventually come to that great and last day, where will we stand? God knows our heart, He knows the desires of our heart. Is this life but a stepping stone in which we are meant to be judged on our eternal progression?

We’re told that this life is a test. We live and when we die, we are judged based off of this life. Here’s the catch. Eternity is forever, it doesn’t begin and it doesn’t have an end. We are judged based off of perhaps eighty years or so, depending on how long someone lives, and our eternity is determined because of those years in a mortal existence.

We don’t have any knowledge of a pre earth life. We are in the dark with only good feelings to guide us. Well good and bad feelings, the Holy Ghost is meant to show us the way. Yet, how does the Holy Ghost know what’s good and what’s bad for us individually? He is a personage of spirit, as I understand it, the Holy Ghost hasn’t had the opportunity to have an earthly experience (yet), if that is true then how are we to fully know the promptings we receive are true.

When told to go off feelings and not facts, it becomes confusing. Testimony is based on good warm fuzzy feelings? Logic and facts don’t matter apparently. If logic doesn’t matter, and everything truly does go off of what’s in the heart and that’s what God looks into, we will be okay in the long run if everything is where it should be.

Where does any of this fit in regarding life? We live, we experience, and we die? Is that it? Personally I would like to have some answers to questions. Is that too much to ask? One would hope not.

Suicidal Ideation

Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts ) are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

Didn't Sleep

What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Life Isn't Easy

Let's face it, life isn't easy. It comes and goes, and we are stuck with it. That's the reality of it all now isn't it. No, that wasn't a question. I wish I could fix it all for everyone, but that doesn't seem to be possible. How would I fix it exactly? I'm not sure. It just would be nice to be able to tell everyone that everything will be okay in the end, and have everyone be content. Naturally people would take that in different ways. No one thinks along the same wavelength. It's a thing, I guess. But life, life isn't easy. There are so many things that we have to conquer in this life. So many things we have to deal with and battle. There isn't one simple solution to any of it. I would like there to be a solution for everything, but there isn't. I wish I could think differently. I don't believe I am able to think that way though. My brain is stuck in whatever place it's stuck. Such an odd concept to be stuck in some place without be...
