I realized as I was praying to learn from the scriptures today - this was of great comfort to me -I was taught that I am not alone in many of my life concerns, and I was reminded that my concerns are little in comparison to a person whom I am actually a lot like.His name is Mormon. I am like Mormon because I am plagued with an unanswered question.The question is - How is this all going to turn out for me as those I love?As I pondered upon Mormon I realized a prophet of God had the same problem that I have - only his senerio was harder - He witnessed the ENTIRE destruction of those that He loves and then he was left to wonder what would happen to his own son?HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW THINGS WERE GOING TO TURN OUT FOR HIS FAMILY...And yet, Mormon had this one great desire...That he could be of help in anyway possible and that " Perhaps " ( his righteous works, his compilation of writings and hope his son would follow his example that ) " someday might profit them ".Mormon didn't have prejudice or preconditions on whom he wanted the Book of Mormon to help, nor did he only worry about his own personal family circumstances, he wanted to be a servant of the Lord for everyone.I am incredibly thankful that Mormon's desire was fulfilled through Joseph Smith the prophet and because of our incomprehensibly merciful God and Savior whom allowed Joseph the gifts that he would need to do the work of bringing the Book of Mormon to light.I am thankful that I can relate to such a wonderful man Mormon in someways and I am honored to be nicknamed after him - Mormon.I am going to follow Mormon's example and hope and have faith that my scriptural writings will have benefit to anyone who will read them - to strengthen their belief in Jesus the Christ. The one whom changed me forever and holds my heart.If God can work the miracle of bringing this prophets compliations to light - what can He not do for you and I that we righteously need to serve Him at a higher capacity?Nothing - there is nothing that he can't do and I will follow Mormon's example.I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.MORMON 1:1 And now I, Mormon, being about to deliver up the record which I have been making into the hands of my son Moroni, behold I have witnessed almost all the destruction of my people, the Nephites.2 And it is many hundred years after the coming of Christ that I deliver these records into the hands of my son; and it supposeth me that he will witness the entire destruction of my people. But may God grant that he may survive them, that he may write somewhat concerning them, and somewhat concerning Christ, that perhaps some day it may profit them.
