Yesterday I had a simple experience that filled my heart with a spirit of love and kindness. Early in the morning on my bus ride to Salt Lake, a man boarded and the bus and dropped his drivers license as he walked past me. He didn't notice, and I'm not sure anyone else did besides me. For a moment I hesitated, embarrassed at the thought of drawing attention to myself. But the spirit pricked me again to pick up the license and follow the man to his seat. Thankfully I was quick enough to act before the bus started to move again. I sat down, and I was suddenly filled with a soft feeling of compassion and peace. I love how the spirit confirms to us God's love when we serve others--even if it is something so simple as picking up a driver's license.
I watched a new Mormon Message video tonight that I think gets to the heart of what I experienced yesterday morning. This video is from Elder Bednar talking about light. He mentions how this light that each of us are born with is something that moves us to act righteously and reach out to others as the Savior would. There are actually three short videos in this series from Elder Bednar which discuss various aspects and characteristics of light. Please take a minute to watch, and feel the spirit ignite this light within you.
