-here
is a glimpse of the Nephi under construction.
He is developing and growing just as we are. To admit that we do not have all the answers
is not a character flaw. Instead it is a key that unlocks learning.
“I know that
he loveth his children”
-how
did Nephi come to know this truth? If we
really know this deep in our souls, it is a motivation and provides the
parameters by which we live our lives. It
does not mean that we know everything but it is a fundamental building block
upon which we can construct our value system, our life’s objective, our
self-concept, our faith, our relationship to (and how we treat) others. Do we have an abiding belief or knowledge
that God loves His children?
“I do not
know the meaning of all things.”
-who
does? God is the only one with this
quantity of knowledge. So where should
we go to learn? To the source of meaning
and knowledge. God’s school is called
mortality and its primary teaching tools are the scriptures, prayer,
inspiration and experience.
