Insignificant

Can I just say that I continue to be amazed with the simple way that God opens doors. He is so aware of each one of us. He guides us to do seemingly insignificant things in order to break down people's walls and show them His love, give them the help and comfort they are seeking, and bless their lives.

There is a young woman who has struggled with activity. She has little to mostly no support when it comes to church. She came to camp last year and had a great experience, and we all loved getting to know her and see what a sweet girl she is. I'd seen a few posts from her facebook the last few weeks where I didn't really understand what she was talking about. She ended up coming to our YW activity this past week. In passing, I asked her about the posts. That simple, relatively conversational question led to her breaking down, opening up about some difficult struggles she's going through, lots of hugs, other girls reaching out to her, late night texts about her desire to be strong in the gospel, etc.

A quick perusal of YW facebook posts and a simple question...and a door was opened. God is there. Most of the work He needs us to do will seem small and insignificant, but it will be those simple things that accomplish His desire of bringing people closer to Him. It will be those simple things that result in prayers being answered. It will be those little things that let us see the hand of God working among His children.

"By small and simple things are great things brought to pass." Alma 37:6
