When I was first called to the Relief Society I suggested that the ward read the Book of Mormon as President Hinckley had instructed us to do a few years ago. Our ward came up with a more personalized plan that worked very well. This year the goal was set by the Young Men and Young Women to read the Book of Mormon in 90 days, and so the rest of us jumped on board. I am SO GRATEFUL that we are doing it. It is such a blessing for me now. I don't know why I couldn't have just done it by myself, but I didn't, and now I am. This last week of reading has reminded me of two great scriptures that give me hope (small h) for me, that I might continue with Hope (big H). This is what I aspire to do. They are:
2 Nephi 31:20 "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
Mosiah 5:15 "Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you His, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of Him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen."
