I read some scriptures last night amongst some others and the following really stood out to me.
Most everyday we come across someone who says "Oh I already have Jesus, I'm happy with my religion." Which we respect, of course. But it makes me sad most of all. Why? THIS SCRIPTURE WILL TELL YOU WHY...
2 Nephi 28 ---->
29 Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!
30 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.
First of all, we can never know enough. You don't watch one basketball game or cheer at one game or kick the ball once and say "That's it, I'm good. I don't need anymore. I'm satisfied" You keep doing and you keep learning along the way.
Second- you always learn something different. With each new days comes new opportunities. You're never gonna do EXACTLY the same thing you did the day before. It's not possible because the world around us is always changing.
It's tough I know I know. BUT I can PROMISE you that if you read the Book of Mormon everyday, you'll get something new and something better out of it, each time! Here a little, there a little. We can't learn everthing all at once. Not possible either. But we can try to increase our knowledge by continually feasting upon the words of Christ. And we'll receive happiness!!!!! Who doesn't want to be happy!!!????
Hopefully, this email makes sense I don't think it does but there's a banana pie sitting in front of me so I gotta blast :----))))))
I love you all and know this gospel is TRUE with my whole heart. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't. :-))))
Have a great week and smile so big at everyone. Smiling is so funnnnn.
HEAPS of love!!!
