"Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God." (Helaman 3:35)
Life-lessons gleaned from this verse:
1. Fasting + prayer + yielding of hearts= strength, humility, firmer faith in Christ, joy, consolation, purifying, sanctification.
I love that this little equation is lopsided; we give a litte by praying, fasting and offering up our hearts and in turn, we are blessed disproportionately by a generous and loving Heavenly Father. Our Father blesses us with lopsided and perfect love!
