It is truly amazing how many times I can read it and still learn something new. I get inspired to be better thanks to reading it. I can understand the present more thanks to the learning of the past. I know that the Book of Mormon is from God. If it were something evil... how can it inspire everyone that reads it to be good? This past Sunday in the Relief Society class, someone read one of my favorite scriptures which is in: Alma 37:37
"Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."
What a beautiful scripture, it reminds me of the importance to talk to the Lord through prayer. He will guide me in all my doings, which I need due to my imperfection, and if I pray before going to sleep he will watch over me... well, I know this because I have felt His protection. Sometimes I get feelings of fear, but I know I can turn to the Lord and they immediately go away. I feel everyday grateful towards God. He has given so much to me! I know if I am obedient I "shall be lifted up at the last day". He doesn't ask much of us, truly. Through His doctrine, through the reading and studying of the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have through the years, learned that His love is perfect, that He doesn't ask much from us, and that He loves us. I can feel His love but the only way to get to know Him and His gospel is through praying and studying the scriptures.
“Feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do” (2 Nephi 32:3).
“And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation” (Helaman 5:12)
“Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him”(Moroni 10:32)
I can't add any more words to this, read the scriptures, study them, and learn.
