I was granted the unique privilege of listening to an apostle's (Elder Eyring) words yesterday. I have always admired him. He is an amazing man of God. I love reading his books and listening to his talks. I knew it would be wonderful to be in his presence. As I listened carefully to his talk and felt the Spirit testify to me that this very humble man standing before me was indeed an Apostle of the Lord, tears filled my eyes. There was a reverence in that moment I cannot fully articulate. And the peace that poured into the room and filled my heart was immense. It's always fascinating to witness so much power and truth during deep spiritual experiences like these, enough to move mountains. But at the same time, to feel the stillness and peace that accompany it.
Elder Eyring talked a lot about transformation this day. He bore testimony that when we draw close to God, we can become new people. Sitting at the feet of this Apostle and being taught these principles was inspiring. Watching this follower of Christ exude such complete confidence and trust in his Creator was remarkable. This deep humility I imagine is a byproduct of following Christ. This man who spoke of transformation I could tell lived a life that was a testimony to the very subject he professed. The kind of attitude that says 'I will follow You across the desert or mountains or where ever You want me to go Lord'. I hope I can be a loyal servant to the Lord as well and continue to show my commitment to Him.
