The Book of Mormon Everyday

   "May I suggest that you set aside time every day to find out for yourself if the Book of Mormon is a true book, for it will change your heart and change your life. If you seek this knowledge “with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ” (Moroni 10:4), I promise that you will receive an answer.  And once you know that the Book of Mormon is true, then it will follow that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. You will have that burning testimony and knowledge that this church is true."   || Thomas S. Monson ||

The prophet of God has announced that we must find out EACH DAY that the Book of Mormon s true! That's right! Evvverrryyyy single day! No matter how busy we are. That means we must read the Book of Mormon everyday! And not just read it, study it! And have spiritual experiences! I am making this my current goal and I know that blessings follow obedience. I am excited!!! :) I am grateful for the Prophet that Heavenly Father has given us! <3

Thou Shalt Not Be Ashamed

I think a lot of times when we talk to people about the gospel, we are afraid of what they may be thinking. "They think I'm weird... They think that I think I'm better than them... they think they're better than me... they think my beliefs are laughable..." We begin to doubt ourselves. But the lord has promised us:

"Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame"

 | 3 Nephi 22:4 |

No matter what people may think of us and of the gospel we are asked to preach, it doesn't matter. The lord has commanded us to preach his gospel. It's is not our own words or ideas we are telling others, it is the Lord's perfect gospel and plan of happiness. He has commanded us that as we tell people these things we should not fear, because the day of redemption, and perfect knowledge, will come. And in that day we  will it be ashamed. We will have been one whom had served in the work of the lord in his great plan. We can't be afraid to open our mouth. No pride from those we encounter can overshadow the perfect brightness of hope of the lord's perfect plan for us. And because he loves each and every one of his children, he wants us to tell others his good news. And that's exactly what I will do.

Jesus Christ died so that I can live again. And he suffered for my sins, so that if I accept his sacrifice, I won't have to pay the whole price and pain for my sins. And not only that, but he suffered for my pains. my weaknesses, my trials, my sickness, my heartbreak- all of it. Just so that I, and all of us, will NEVER be alone. So I can be comforted by someone who truly understands. Because he knows exactly how we feel. Our pains, our joys, he is there, along with us every step of the way. And he loves us.

Our Eternal Potential

None of us are perfect, not even close. But we can be PERFECTED by Christ. We can be our best self and allow the atonement perfect us if we believe in him and come unto him and follow him! There are always things in our way, keeping us from fully following Christ. These things may not even be bad things, but nonetheless they may continue to keep us from reaching our full potential. Like using the phrase "Good, Better, and Best". The things we are doing may be good, but not the best thing to help us become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.
