Down, but not out

I am learning about the power of character in success as I read Hidden Potential by Adam Grant. One important character trait is resilience. This morning I have been given the opportunity to practice resilience as my body is weak, but I'm not giving up. 

So this morning I am choosing to build character as I study the Come Follow Me lesson for this week: 1 Nephi 11-15. 

Nephi was given a vision that gave him power to understand the importance of his work. He saw the Savior and was taught by an angel. As I learn about God through the scriptures, I can also gain power and a vision of my own role in living the gospel. 

Jesus Christ is the embodiment of God's love for His children! 1 Nephi 11:21-22 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw? 22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things.

The love of God is what I desire. Not only for myself, but for all those I love.
