Thank you so much for sharing your experience CTS. I think its so amazing the Faith that you and others have. You didn't even need to ask the question " Lord, how is it done?" You have great Faith in the true character of Christ and that He is mighty to save. As I think about my experiences now through the lens of more time... I actually don't think the promise was offered then. I believe it was offered actually before that. I believe that experience in the temple was given me for a reason. And that the Lord used that experience to answer my prayer. I needed to have some specific time to aid me in belief. So in His mercy He said, " Ok, then here it was."

I think about how my up bringing and childhood have colored my images of Christ and of myself. We all struggle with with that in a way. There just seem to be certain things that are an Aquiles heal for me.

Thank you for sharing again. I felt the spirit as I read your words and you helped me articulate something I have been feeling for a while. I am so happy you know these things. I am grateful for your example and the simple Faith you show me.
