A Mighty Change of Heart

So the other day me and my friend were having a pretty deep conversation over facebook. (Weird, but you actually can have a good conversation doing that.) We were talking about things that we regret from when we were in high school.

I regret being so outspoken, to the point of being rude. I apologize to those I was a jerk to. One of my new favorite quotes that my friend shared with me is:

"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself" ~ Galileo

I learned that no matter how much of a jerk I was they were never going to change, just because I wanted them to. I realized I needed to change myself, and maybe just maybe I could be an example for good.

So I turned to the scriptures for some pondering this morning before I go to church. The apartment is quiet, everyone is asleep except for me because my head is going to explode from a cold; So what do I do? I decide to read my scriptures and blog about it. Awesome. Anyway; I was pondering this quote today and I came across Mosiah 5:7. Which reads:

"...for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and daughters."

Reading that made me want to be better and be born of him! What an amazing feeling. I have a testimony of the gospel of Christ. I know he lives and he loves me.

My next post is a song that is a great addition to this blog post. Enjoy!
