Sister Tatjana Zumbach: Heart Broken

So this was a heartbreaking week.

Hector decided that we couldn't help him the way he wanted (giving him rides [which we can't do for safety reasons and he has never asked us for a ride in the two and a half months I have known him], the church giving him money [again some misunderstandings because the church doesn't just give money out to people. We have programs that can help you become more self-reliant, and the food storage if you are in need]...) so he told us he was giving up and going to the church across the street...

Big stab in the heart.

I can only imagine what Christ has felt for us. What Heavenly Father feels when His children give up on Him...

This experience was a tender mercy; to be allowed to understand what our Heavenly Parents, Jesus Christ, and at times those around us feel when we lose our way, when we reject their help.

"32 For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

"33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."

3 Nephi 13:32-33

If we go to the Lord with a broken heart and contrite spirit, seeking first His kingdom, He will bless us with the temporal things we need.
