"I love this scripture because it's one that anyone can relate to. It's a given that we'll all have to go through some really rough times in our life. Sometimes, for me at least, it feels like everything is against me and the world is about to crash down on me. But, whenever I feel like giving up, I remember that I have the Lord on my side! There is nothing I can't overcome with Him because he has already overcome the world!"

Ether 12:27

 "It reminds me that I don't have to do it all on my own.

 And that it's okay to feel weak, because Heavenly Father will help me develop the strength."

Mosiah 2:34

 "I just love the part, "eternally indebted to your heavenly father to render to him all that you have and are" it's a good reminder to try as hard as you can, everyday with all you have. "

Alma 37:37

"I know that when I am struggling with a trial or a question, I know exactly where to go. And that my Father will direct me for good. So comforting!

I have a little saying by my sink. . . 'When life knocks you on your knees, you are in the perfect position to pray!'

I am thankful that we can pray and that He listens! I know He lives and that He loves each one of us."

1 John 4:18

"In this earthly state, there are plenty of things to fear: the death, the darkness, the unknown.

 But fear is brought into our minds directly from Satan.

 It is true, there are many things we cannot know in this life, but our faith in God can make up for what we do not understand.

 If we do our best to love God with the purest heart we can, He will perfect our beings, and we will have no need to fear."

1 Corinthians 10:13

"It's basically saying that there is no challenge or sin or force that will ever come into our lives that we will not be able to endure or handle, this scripture helped me gain confidence in strengthening my weakness that came from autism when I was younger"

Doctrine and Covenants 128:23

"I'm a huge nature lover and so I love how this scripture brings to life ALL of God's Creations here on Earth.

"And let the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever!"

It's a true testimony that our Father in Heaven made this earth for His children because He loves us.

It's so powerful."

Scripture Power

Once upon a time I was texting my friend and we came upon the subject of our favorite scriptures.
He told me his and explained why it was his favorite.
I loved his interpretation of it. and then it hit me.
The scriptures are the BEST, but sometimes we don't realize how awesome and inspiring they are until someone points it out to us.

So it's all pretty simple.
I've been asking everyone and anyone, "What is your favorite scripture and why?"
and by anyone, I really do mean ANYONE.
I think its important to realize that you can receive inspiration from God no matter who you are or what you're going through.
It doesn't matter where you live.
It doesn't matter how strong your testimony is.
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.
It doesn't matter what religion you believe.
It doesn't matter if you are a man or woman or boy or girl.
If you're looking for an answer, God will give you one.

I know from experience one of the best ways to receive personal revelation is by reading the scriptures and likening them to our own lives just like Nephi says in the book of Mormon, "For I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning."

The purpose of this blog is simple.
To share the gospel of Jesus Christ through the scriptures (and personal revelation) and to hopefully inspire others to go and receive their own revelation from their Heavenly Father.
I love to hear the personal revelation God has given his children, it's a huge testimony builder.
