The Still Small Voice

Have you ever felt a still small voice inside of you, helping you make a desicion? Have you ever felt peace and comfort during a trial? Do you ever feel a warm, happy feeling while you are praying or reading from the scriptures? This is the feeling of the Holy Ghost.
Before Jesus left the earth, he was with His Apostles. He promised them that although he could not be with them forever, He would give them the Gift of the Holy Ghost. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
It is a gift He has given us today! When we have faith in Jesus Christ, repent, and are baptized by someone holding the proper authority, the Lord has promised us the Gift of the Holy Ghost. That means that we are given the still small voice as a constant companion. That peace and comfort we feel through trials, the guidance we receive through prayer, and the quiet voice in our hearts and minds that help us make decisions can be with us ALWAYS.
I don't know about you, but this gives me so much comfort!!! In the middle of the worldy chatter and noise, I know that if I listen to that still small voice, I will be guided by God. I know that as we follow the Lord's teachings that He will never leave us, but that we can feel and hear Him through the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
