It Speaketh of Jesus

2 Nephi 33:3-4


3 But I, Nephi, have written what I have written, and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially unto my people. For I pray continually for them by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that he will hear my cry.
  4 And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers for the gain of my people. And the words which I have written in weakness will be made strong unto them; for it persuadeth them to do good; it maketh known unto them of their fathers; and it speaketh of Jesus, and persuadeth them to believe in him, and to endure to the end, which is life eternal.


I am not the most well-versed person in the world, although I love writing. And although I don't always write about the things I believe, I know that the things I believe influence the things that I write. I love this blog for the reason that here I have a place to put my thoughts, however simple as they might be, on what I believe and have come to understand. Lately, I have been studying from the index of The Book of Mormon, the different references that it lists under Jesus Christ. It has been wonderfully edifying to study it in such a way. I have never felt more strengthened than I do now. I feel a power in my life and in my soul that I can't deny. Being a writer, I constantly am drawing on the quotes and thoughts of other writers. What a beautiful painting may do for an aspiring artist, a writer's words does for me. And so, reading short versus and studying them out in my mind each day has been a real treat for me. I just play it over and over in my head like a good song and life is bliss. The Book of Mormon truly does testify of the Savior. And I love it.
