Last month was very special to me and to my family. I was ‘First”in my office. I never expected that I would be awarded ‘First.’ I always desired to be in the top four positions. I received the award ‘First’for “most dedicated and honest worker” in the whole office. I got this because of Heavenly Father’s grace.I know I am a weak person but I was able to achieve this feat because I kept God first in my life.
I fulfilled my calling and visiting teaching no matter whatever the condition was; because of this I received the award in my office. My mother is my companion in visiting teaching. As I paid tithing with a willing heart, God blessed our home with peace and joy. We got all the basic things we needed actually it is more than that.
One day when I was going home from my office, my friend told me she will drop me. I said okay. I always sit on one side on her Scooty when she drives. I heard in my heart a voice asking me to stop the Scooty and sit on two sides. To be honest, I ignored it. Second time again the spirit prompted me to sit on two sides again I ignored it. Third time again I felt the spirit, Then I listened to the Spirit and sat on both sides. Later,I understood if I had not done so I would have met with a painful accident. I was saved because of the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ is my best friend. I mean it! I am very grateful to my Heavenly Father for the wonderful gospel in my life. I am very grateful to Jesus Christ for choosing me and my family to this gospel. I am very grateful to God after 11 years my relatives came and stayed with us and we all enjoyed a lot. I am very grateful for my parents who are great examples to me. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us. God loves us all so much; more than we imagine. God blesses us according to his time.
I know The Book of Mormon is true word of God. I am grateful for my Bishop Raju who sends sms daily regarding Scriptures which really motivates us. When we put God first, everything will be added unto us. I felt this strongly when I got the award. When I got the award I remembered a Scripture from Matthew chapter 6::33 “BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.” I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is the only true church upon the whole face of the earth.I say in name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
