a. V. 23. Can someone be in me? Christ wants to be in the people as the Father is in me. So can I have Christ in me? I think this would mean having so much love toward him and understanding him.
b. The disciples when they were praying, they "did not multiply many words" which I think I do often is multiply words in my prayer, saying the same thing. Challenge: don't use the same phrase in a prayer that you've ever used before. It was also given unto them what they should pray and they were filled with desire.
Do I have desire? What are my desires? Love, health, being with my family and friends. Having the spirit in my life. Going to the temple.
c. "Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto him" *Jesus will bless me as i pray unto him with desire.
d. "and his countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his countenance did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof." 3 ne 19: 25. * I really like this verse because it makes Christ feel personal to me. When my friends or even some strangers smile at me, they do have a glow and that glow can light others up. If we mortals can do that much, I can only imagine how much Christ's countenance can brighten up others. I imagine Christ's smile being so happy and with so much love behind it. A smile says a lot. And Christ's smile would say so much.
e. Jesus separates himself again and prays to the father. He thanks Heavenly father for purifying those who he has chosen. *What is I was in the middle of a moment, like visiting mom and dad back home, and I say excuse me I must go pray to thank Heavenly Father that I have arrived safely and you guys are happy and well here. I actually think that would invite such a spirit. Praying really does invite the spirit. It prioritizes our lives at the moment, to realize what really is most important at the moment and how blessed we are as well. I love the spirit. I have been in situations and homes where it is not present and I don't like the feeling. On the contrary, in my own house I feel the spirit and it is such a great feeling. I am blessed to have a mother that is so good at bringing the spirit to a home.
f. v. 27. Jesus says to them, "Pray on." :) I think that's funny.
I am so so so thankful for my job! The Lord has blessed me beyond measure.
