2 Nephi 24


I never thought of the millennium as a rest from sorrow and fear. What a blessing! There is so much sadness in the world, and so many things to fear. I can just imagine the peace that would be. I wonder if it is a metaphor or if there will really be no more cutting down trees? The world would have to exist completely different from how it does now, but a world with no sorrow would be different anyway. Was it scriptures like this that led the native Americans to have the relationship with the earth that they had. To feel the life and Spirit in the trees?

Lucifer’s sin of pride was his fall. I can see that same tendency in myself. Believing I could do it better and so having a hard time following. I’m grateful I recognized the truth, then. I guess I’m not always that way, but it is a struggle I have, humility that is.
