"When you are
filled with the Spirit of God, and the Holy Ghost rests upon you . . . do you
have any trials? I do not think you do. For that satisfies and fills up every
longing of the human heart, and fills up every vacuum. When I am filled with that
spirit my soul is satisfied; and I can say in good earnest, that the trifling
things of the day do not seem to stand in my way at all. But just let me lose
my hold on that spirit and power of the Gospel, and partake of the spirit of
the world, in the slightest degree, and trouble comes; there is something wrong ... And is it not our privilege to so live that we can have this constantly
flowing into our souls?" (Eliza R. Snow, September 1873)
This is true, beautiful and hopeful. I want to know this every day.
We just had a lesson on ERS in Relief Society. She is definitely a woman that I need to know more about.
