I wasn’t planning to post so soon but this story I would like to share really touched me. Thanks to a friend on Facebook for sharing this!
” Yesterday at church a Sister got up to bear her testimony and she related an experience she had at the temple.
She had a long day. Work was hard and she knew she had to get to the temple…that day! So, with her temple bag in her trunk and wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Not Today Satan,’ she headed straight to the temple after work.
In the parking lot she hesitated, concerned with, (among other things) her appearance as she went to the house of the Lord. But then she had the thought, most certainly from the Spirit, ‘Come As You Are.’ And after some hesitation followed by ‘Just Get In There‘ she did!
In her t-shirt and with her temple bag in one hand and her recommend in the other, she entered the holiest place around. As she entered the workers smiled and said, “welcome to the Temple.” No one batted an eye at her casual appearance.”
This experience is one of many that tell just how unconditional Jesus Christ’s love is for each of us! Of course, we always want to strive to respect Our Father in Heaven and our Savior through our speech, our dress, and the way we live our lives, ….but….. I believe it is more important to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and follow it just as this dear Sister did!
On another note, the Lord will always meet you just where you are. He is waiting for you to let Him in.
So what are you waiting for, come as you are and let Him in!
