what about right and wrong?

Have you ever felt inspired to do something, but yet you are still completely scared out of your mind? Did that inspiration come from the Lord, or from some other source? You have a decision to make. You can make a choice which involves doing something great, in which growth and strengthening can occur, or you can choose the other side, which involves something...great...in which growth and strengthening would also occur. So which one do you choose? The great one, or the other great one? Either way, you know that the Lord would be pleased with either and support you. It is not a decision of right or wrong, but a decision of personal preference...what do YOU feel would be best to do? I always find these the most difficult decisions to make. Both are great. Both are good. You know that the Lord wants YOU to make your OWN decision, based on feelings of peace and comfort you receive. But in a decision there are two sides, one or the other, so doesn't this mean that somehow one is better?

I ran across an article today, where Elder Oaks says...

"A desire to be led by the Lord is a strength, but it needs to be accompanied by an understanding that our Heavenly Father leaves many decisions for our personal choices. Personal decision making is one of the sources of the growth we are meant to experience in mortality. Persons who try to shift all decision making to the Lord and plead for revelation in every choice will soon find circumstances in which they pray for guidance and don’t receive it...We should study things out in our minds, using the reasoning powers our Creator has placed within us. Then we should pray for guidance and act upon it if we receive it. If we do not receive guidance, we should act upon our best judgment."

I am so grateful for church leaders who are open to the guidance and direction from the spirit. They truly are the mouthpiece of the Lord.
