I read a great scripture today. I marked it, but didn't want to lose it, or forget my feelings. It is a great prayer for my children. I wish I was as eloquent as king Benjamin. I don't know how anyone could listen to him and not feel the Spirit. Anyway, the scripture is Mosiah 5:15
"Therefore, I would that he 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 you 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."
Right? Can't tell me that's not a good scripture. It tells you exactly what is required and the promise for doing it. I think my favorite part is "that Christ... May seal you his." I feel that in my studies recently I've grown so much closer to The Lord that the idea of Him claiming me is quite comforting. Sometimes I have a terrible feeling of homesickness and of missing my heavenly parents. This scripture, to me, is a reminder that I just need to do my part. They are there waiting to claim me.
