1 Nephi 19


I found it touching as I read that what Nephi is recording are the sacred experiences of his life for his children. What a beautiful and private and sacred thing we are privileged to read when we read the Book of Mormon. I also feel inspired to be more diligent in recording the sacred events of my life for my family.

As Nephi described the suffering of God, and how He suffered it because of his kindness, I feel humbled. How often do I feel I do “deserve” things that happen to me, or my kids or husband should show more respect, and then get angry. That is not the pattern of the Savior. And He was the great God of the universe suffering unjustly at the hands of his creations. Who am I to complain or be angry?
