I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. I normally jump right to the lesson helps I created for Come Follow Me but today I wanted to share a few thoughts that came to me as I studied these chapters. Writing is not really a talent of mine but I hope the message I'm trying to share will come through. This week as I read 3 Nephi 8-11 it seemed to take on a new meaning. The natural disasters, the fear, the chaos, even the anger and wickedness that happened before the destruction seemed all to familiar. The darkness that settled on them now seems all to real and more relatable. Then I read the next chapter. The Savior spoke to them, he came, he brought light, and peace. He does this now. He brings light and peace to our lives and hearts as we let him in. As we learn of him and hear his words and as we follow his example that feeling of love, comfort, and joy can be felt even when things around us seem dark, out of our control and in some cases impossible. He is always there.
I am so happy to have the chance to reread these chapters with my family this week and to study more about Christ's visit to the Nephites. We have one of the illustrated Book of Mormons and my daughter has been counting down the weeks for these chapters because one image is "the whole page!" It must be pretty special :)
