Henry B. Eyring said
"Just as soil needs preparation for a seed, so does a human heart for the word of God to take root. Before he told the people to plant the seed, Alma told them that their hearts were prepared. They had been persecuted and cast out of their churches. Alma with his love and the circumstances of their lives, which led them to be humble, had prepared them. They were then ready to hear the word of God. If they chose to plant it in their hearts, the growth in their souls would surely follow, and that would increase their faith." (To Draw Closer to God, p. 186)
-I like this quote because it is a good reminder that we need to prepare ourselves to hear the word of God. We need to go to meeting, start our studies and enter sacrament meeting in the right frame of mind and ready to be edified and uplifted by the word of God.
-We aren't asked to do a lot of things in this life but we are asked to do things that aren't easy. "...if ye will nourish the word,...by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, look forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root;" That is an amazing invitation and promise. God will strengthen us as we study and apply the scriptures to our lives.
-The entire purpose of the Book of Mormon is to testify of Christ and to bring us to a better knowledge and understanding of who He is. If we don't read them, study them and take them into our lives to be like the savior then we are wasting time and God's word. Also we must study them not just read them to finish our checklist for the day.
-Do we put aside and not do the things asked of us because we think they are too simple or too meaningless? All things asked of us by our Father in Heaven and our Prophet are important and we must make time for them.
Blessing- Friends that are so kind to me and help me through the hard times.
