A Passage Engraved in My Soul

God Does Not Despise a Contrite Heart

  • Whenever I saw members bearing gospel fruit every month, I was worried about myself as I did not reap any result. I thought to myself, ‘Maybe I’m still not after God’s own heart.’

    “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you
    will not despise. In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of
    Jerusalem.” (Ps 51:17–18)

    David, who was approved by God as the “one after My heart,” always had a contrite and repentant heart. Furthermore, he gathered materials for Jerusalem temple, eagerly hoping to establish it. As a result, God loved David so much.

    I want to fill my heart with humbleness and repentance, fully realizing that I am a sinner in essence like David. I will preach the Gospel with an eager heart to find souls who will become Heavenly Mother’s beautiful ornaments. I hope that all the brothers and sisters around the world, including Mexico, will become faithful and beautiful to be after the heart
    of Heavenly Father and Mother.
