We must have opposition in all things so that we know the good from the evil. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." (2 Nephi 2:25)
We are supposed to be happy in this life, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge of it are supposed to bring us that joy or happiness that so many are seeking. And we can act for ourselves because we know good from evil.
We need to 2 Nephi 2:28:
1. "look to the great Mediator",
2. "hearken unto his great commandments;"
3. "be faithful unto his work",
4. "and choose eternal life,"

"out of weakness he shall be made strong," (2 Nephi 3:13) "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." (Phil 4:13), and cross reference (Ether 12:27).

At the end of vs. 19 it says, "I know their faith." That is an amazing scripture, to me it show that our Father in Heaven knows each of us and even know how much faith we have and where we can improve.

Blessing: I have another interview today in Idaho Falls!!!

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
