Reading this post by Mr. Seeker and others on this forum have been wonderful for me! I appreciate all who have contributed.

One thing that occurs to me, is that we are recommended to seek the gifts of the Spirit. I have wanted to experience more spiritual gifts but have drawn back from seeking them, wondering if I want them for my own glory instead of for God's. One of the gifts I have always thought would be cool was the gift of healing. In reflection, I have had that gift from time to time, and have seen it used in some miraculous ways. I guess what I wish I had was the ability to KNOW with certainty what to say each and every time.

As I think upon my desire for gifts, I am reminded that they are not MY gifts, they are God's gifts and He uses them as He sees fit. There are times when I am giving a priesthood blessing that I really do feel inspiration and guidance, but most of the time I am pretty much clueless. But I have noticed that God often ends up honoring the words I have spoken. Its as if God has decided, "You say it, I'll do it!"

This ties in with why it bothers me when I heard priesthood blessings given with such tenuous, hesitating words, especially the word "might." People 'might' get better with or without the blessing! It takes more courage and faith to say the word "WILL" but the rewards are much more noticeable. Another thing I tend to do, and I don't know why, is that I tend so speak with a louder than usual voice when I give blessings. I guess I want them to feel the confidence I have in the power of the priesthood.
