Reading back thru this thread, it seems perhaps I am confusing Calling and Election with the 2nd Comforter. I thought that C&E made sure included a visitation from the Savior - now I understand that this isn't the case..

Was my experience of a few weeks ago, hearing the voice in my mind saying "My son, my son, thou art my son and thou will be blessed!" was that the calling and election? I had expected the words "you will receive exaltation" or "you will be exalted". Of course this was a special, sacred experience, but I don't believe it was my C&E. And I felt like it would be an experience that would remove all doubt.

I know God lives. I have seen enough that I cannot doubt it even if I wanted to. But knowing that God lives is NOT the same as KNOWING, nothing wavering, that I will receive exaltation.

If I am rejecting the gift or simply failing to receive what is offered to me, please help me to understand how to receive it!
