Video 41 🌿 What Changes When You Walk With Jesus
🌿 What Changes When You Walk With Jesus
I’ve been noticing something.
Not all at once.
Not loudly.
Just quietly, over time.
When a person really walks with Jesus,
something begins to change inside them.
It’s not dramatic.
It’s not forced.
It’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention.
But once you notice it,
you can’t un-notice it.
Some Things Can Only Be Learned by Living Them
There are things you can understand because someone explains them to you.
And there are things you only understand once you’ve lived them.
Pain is like that.
Fear is like that.
Healing is like that.
Once you’ve lived something, it gets written into you.
That’s when the Atonement started to make more sense to me.
Jesus doesn’t just forgive us from a distance.
He comes close enough
that His way of seeing the world
starts to become our way of seeing it.
Scripture Describes This Kind of Change
The scriptures talk about this kind of transformation.
King Benjamin taught words he received from an angel,
and the people didn’t just feel inspired.
They said their hearts were changed.
Later, the Book of Mormon talks about people
who had no more disposition to do evil.
That doesn’t mean they were suddenly perfect.
It means they weren’t wired the same way anymore.
When the mind changes,
desire changes.
And when desire changes,
behavior follows naturally.
That’s not willpower.
That’s the Atonement doing its real work.
Receiving the Holy Ghost Changes How We Think
Joseph Smith taught that the Holy Ghost is the mind of God.
That helps explain why real change feels so quiet.
People who are changing don’t usually feel louder or more certain.
They feel calmer.
They react less.
They feel less pressure to control everything.
No one orders this to happen.
It just does.
What Walking With Jesus Produces
In real life, walking with Jesus tends to produce things like:
less fear
softer pride
more compassion
lighter truth
deeper peace
You don’t feel forced.
You feel aligned.
A Gentle Invitation
If you’ve been listening to these videos for a while,
especially the earlier ones,
you might notice some of these changes already happening.
You don’t need to do anything about that.
Just notice.
That’s how Jesus works.
Quietly.
Gently.
From the inside out.
🌿 Want to Sit With This a Little Longer?
Tomorrow (or soon), I’ll share a longer written reflection
for anyone who wants to go a bit deeper into this idea.
No pressure.
Just another place to rest,
if you feel drawn.
