Digging deep

I've just started reading the Healing Through Christ workbook, and during my personal study this morning, I happened upon this scripture. It fits ever so nicely with my "black sludge" post in which I mourned my inability to reach into the depths of my heart and forgive my ex completely:

35 Nevertheless they did ^afast and ^bpray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their ^chumility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation,yea, even to the ^dpurifying and the ^esanctification of their HEARTS,which sanctification cometh because of their ^fyielding their hearts unto God. (Helaman 3:35, emphasis added of course)

Notice something? All the verbs. These are my action words. This is my recipe for digging deep into my heart. HARD WORK! I know! I'm doing these things. Just a reminder to myself to keep on keeping on and the happy results--also beautifully outlined in this passage--will eventually come!
