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.
