An Easiness and Willingness to Believe

An Easiness and Willingness to Believe by Elder Michael T. Ringwood stated: "As I pondered what caused this mighty change in the hearts of these Lamanites, I came to realize this easiness and willingness to believe in the word of God comes from a softness of heart. It comes from having a heart that is sensitive to the Holy Ghost. It comes from having a heart that can love. It comes from having a heart that will make and keep sacred covenants. It comes from a soft heart that can feel the power of the Atonement of Christ."

He goes on to say that we obtain this soft heart through the example of others and by drawing closer to Heavenly Father in trials and challenges. He taught me that if I want others to feel the Spirit and change, the best thing I can do is be a good example and to keep testifying of Christ and the Book of Mormon and what I know to be true. I know I can also pray diligently and fast so that I may have as much help as I can to soften the hearts around me.
