Tonight's scripture findings

This week my sister stayed with me, let me to tell you, I AM WIPED!!! She is still here and will go home tomorrow. I will blog more about our adventure later. But every night we have been reading the scriptures and last night she said "Mindi why do we have to read our scriptures can't we just go to bed?" I replied with an answer that everyone always gives, "Because the prophet asked us to read them everyday so we do." Well going to bed tonight we say our prayers and get her tucked in bed and just as I'm walking out the door she turns to me and says, "Scriptures!!" I then lay down and read her two verses but the one verse that stuck out to me was

1 Nephi 17:3

"And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness." 

What a blessing to know that as long as we keep the commandments, he will keep his end of the deal!! We are so blessed to have this wonderful opportunity to be able to return to him and live with him forever! I love this Church and I know with every fiber of my being that it is true. I know that God lives and that he sent his son to die for my sins. Any wrong doing that I may have done have been taken away. If you have any struggle in your life turn to God, He is the answer forever and always. He is the beginning and the end, He will not leave you hanging without a clue of where you are going. He will give you every opportunity to return to him. HE WANTS YOU HOME!
