Yesterday we were visiting with a man who just two weeks ago was in the depths of addiction. He is a recent convert to the church and after he was baptized fell back into his old lifestyle of drugs. He has been struggling with it for several months now. When we went by two weeks ago, he was discouraged, depressed, and down. We told him to pray everyday for strength to go forward.
We went by yesterday, and immediately as we walked in something felt vastly different. He was happy, he was optimistic. He was beaming with joy and hope. As we continued to talk he mentioned that he has received answers to his prayers, and that he had been clean for 2 weeks now. He mentioned how much better he felt and the hope he had for the future. It was such a cool thing to see. And it reminded me of verse from Nephi's Psalm in 2 Nephi 4 in the Book of Mormon "Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul." (2 Nephi 4:28)
His soul truly has been awakened!!
