On Sunday, one of the speakers used this scripture in 2 Nephi 32:3
"...feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."
That scripture woke me up spiritually and realized that that's where I will find answers to my prayers. This morning after I finished my daily scripture study, I decided to look up some scriptures for guidance. I prayed, and started to read some pages in the Book of Mormon. The scripture that caught my attention was Alma 32:41. In Alma chapter 32, Alma compares faith to a seed. In verse 41, he said:
"...by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life." (Emphasis added)
The reason why I underlined faith, diligence, patience, and looking forward is because I felt like those four things are what I need in order for the "seed" to take root. My "seed" is not faith or knowledge, but life-long goals that I have had for a long time.
"My job now is to find ways to develop and cultivate them." (An excerpt from Monday, January 16, 2012 entry)
