- I really like this quote;
Spencer W. Kimball said
"Here is no casual prayer; here no trite, worn phrases; here no momentary appeal. All the day long, with seconds turning into minutes, and minutes into hours, and hours into an 'all day long.' But when the sun had set relief had still not come, for repentance is not a single act nor forgiveness an unearned gift. So precious to him was communication with, and approval of, his Redeemer that his determined soul pressed on without ceasing." (BYU Speeches of the Year, Oct. 11, 1961, p. 9)
"Thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed." Enos 1:5
-What a comforting sentence to have come to Enos in this time to bring him peace and reassurance of God's love for him. It's amazing the feelings and happiness this can bring to us when we are forgiven and feel God's love.
Enos 1:15 Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith, believing that ye shall receive in the name of Christ, ye shall receive it
There are a few promises in the Book of Mormon that are repeated over and over again. Apparently, we don't learn without repetition. This promise, as given to Enos, is a marvelous promise that is too often taken for granted. It is taken for granted because the reader does not really believe what the Lord has promised. This is the famous tendency to believe in Christ but not to believe Christ, "The real question is 'Do we believe Christ?' It is one thing to believe in him and quite another to believe him (Robinson 8-12)." (Book of Mormon Symposium Series, edited by PR Cheesman, MS Nyman, and CD Tate, Jr., 1988, p. 178).
Indeed, we should remember the words of Enos, that God could not lie (v. 6). When the Lord promises to give us whatever we want, as long as we ask in faith believing in his name, he means what he says. We have no reason to doubt, no reason to waver else we become like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed (James 1:6).*
-This is am amazing point and really is giving me something to think about. I am so thankful for my belief in my savior Jesus Christ, my daily goal is to strengthen my faith in Him and in His plan for me.
Blessing- I was able to see my friends Ben and Aaron last night. They are such a strength to me.
