More to be Desired Are They Than Gold

One of the greatest desires of my heart is to be able to listen to and act on promptings and impressions given by the spirit.  Listening to President Thomas S. Monson's talk from the Sunday morning session of conference inspired an even greater longing for this blessing in my life.  The blessings that come to a person when they heed the spirit of the Lord in service of others are sweet and joyous.  President Monson spoke of many different experiences when he answered the call of the Lord and the joy that he received from his service.  To many times I second guess the thoughts and feeling that come as something fleeting and not really from our heavenly father.  To many times, I may have missed out on blessings that could have brought joy into my life.  Some I know have this gift to be able to recognize a need that others have and then without question act on it.  I find that a lot of times I can recognize the need and think that they need help but just keep moving on.  How does one go from recognizing the need and actually stepping up and helping?  I am a person who doesn't like to bother people and it has been so ingrained in my personality that I fight myself every time.  I don't want to intrude.  I do I recognize and feel the urgency to serve the needs of others when I recognize them?

On another note, I was reading on conversion during the sacrament yesterday and came across the following scripture from Psalms 19:

 7 The ^alaw of the Lord is ^bperfect, ^cconverting the soul: the^dtestimony of the Lord is ^esure, making ^fwise the ^gsimple.
 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, ^arejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is ^bpure, ^cenlightening the eyes.
 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the ^ajudgmentsof the Lord are ^btrue and righteous altogether.
 10 More to be ^adesired are they than ^bgold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

How simple and pure this verse is.  This spoke to my heart the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Peace comes from living the principles of the gospel.  I have a desire to commit myself more fully to living a life converted to the gospel.  Service is one of those keys.  I know that I need to lose myself in the service of others.  This is going to cause me to come out of my comfort zone.  But that is what this journey is all about in the first place.  My quest is for life change.  Stepping out of your comfort zone brings this on especially if done with faith.
