miracles
2 Nephi 27:23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles.
Mormon 9:19
Moroni 7:27-29
What miracles have you seen today?

2 Nephi 26:27 talks about people saying they have enough word of God. I realized today that meant denying not only the prophets but the further revelation from the Holy Ghost too. Joseph smith history 1:21 says that's exactly what happened to Joseph smith. They said, "there were no such things as visions or revelations in these days; that all such things had ceased." John 14:26John 15:26John 16:7In these scriptures, Jesus says He'll send the Holy Ghost to testify. That's further revelation. I don't think people realize that what they're saying is against the scriptures. It's the subtlety of satan. He's good at blinding the eyes and blurring lines.I'm grateful for prophets and the Holy Ghost continuing revelation that helps us come ever closer to Jesus Christ.

He loves you
Luke 12:6-7
“Whenever these moments of our extremity come, we must not succumb to the fear that God has abandoned us or that He does not hear our prayers. He does hear us. He does see us. He does love us."
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Lessons from Liberty Jail” (Brigham Young University devotional, Sept. 7, 2008),

we talk, rejoice, preach
2 Nephi 25:26
And we talk of Christ,
we rejoice in Christ,
we preach of Christ.....
I love this verse. If you love something, you share it. It's a simple formula. Later is says that they did it so their children would know Christ also. If something has blessed you, wouldn't you want to share it with people you love?
Lehi did. 1 Nephi 8:12

warp and weft
2 Nephi 25:26
While our subject might be about families or service or temples or a recent mission, everything in our worship should point to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We Talk of Christ
By Elder Neil L. Andersen
This has been the subject of my daily book of mormon posts. Sometimes it's hard to condense the wordier texts into a short post. It's made me more aware of Jesus Christ in the scriptures though. Possibly more importantly, it's made me more aware of Jesus Christ in every part of my life. It's easy to lose sight of Him in all the chaos. His plan, His care, His mercy, His guidance, His comfort are always there. He is woven into every part of life.
Actually, the plan of salvation is a base of our lives. Jesus Christ is central to the Plan. It makes me think of woven tapestries. I love watching the base, white yarn (warp) fill up with colorful yarn (weft) to create a picture or pattern. The pattern emerges slowly, line upon line, depending on the weaver's decisions. The warp is constant. It's stretched tightly across the loom so it has to be stronger than the weft. It holds the entire textile together. Without the strong strands of warp, the weft has nothing to hold it in a pattern. Jesus Christ is our warp. We decide the pattern of our lives. If we try to build on our own weaker strands, it simply won't hold. We can choose color and pattern but we must weave ourselves into God's plan and Jesus Christ is the center of that plan.

love
Love is the thing that changes hearts. It is the purest motive of all, and others can feel it. Let’s hold fast to these prophetic words offered 50 years ago: “No home is a failure unless it quits trying.” Surely, those who love the most and the longest win!
