Savior may i learn to love thee, walk the path that thou has shown,
pause to help and lift another, finding strength beyond my own.
Savior may i learn to love thee, Lord, i would follow thee.
who am i to judge another when i walk imperfectly?
in the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can't see.
who am i to judge another? Lord, i would follow thee.
i love love love this hymn.
do yourself a favor and read it again, and again and maybe again... especially the second verse.
i know not eveyone who stumbles acrossed my little corner of the internet might not be mormon, or even religious for that matter, but i think we can all take something from this hymn.
too often i find myself caught up in MY problems and that i forget that there are so many people that may need my help or comfort. it could anything from the simplest hello to inviting them to a movie.
i am no saint, and i'm not writing this because it's something i'm perfect at, but something i want to work on.
but i do have a testimony that if we will listen to the holy ghost, he will lead us to those that need our genuine love and attetnion. i had an experience like this earlier this year...
i won't go into much detail for sake of privacy, but earlier this year and i noticed a that a usually cheerful girl seemed didn't seem to have the same happy glow that she usually did. i casually asked how she was doing and she said "fine"... but then i asked how she was doing... and she immediately broke into tears. turns some horrible things had happened to her that, well, shouldn't happen to people.
i knew i wasn't oprah, but i did have a listening ear and a few kind words to offer, and throughout the next few weeks, i was able to be a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on for her.
the moral of the story is "in the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see."
so let us be kind.
cheers.
