Comments on: What Do Mormons Believe? – The Book of Mormon http://www.whatdomormonsbelieve.com/2008/01/what-do-mormons-believe-the-book-of-mormon/ "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men." -Joseph Smith Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:20:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Megan http://www.whatdomormonsbelieve.com/2008/01/what-do-mormons-believe-the-book-of-mormon/comment-page-1/#comment-56 Megan Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:39:00 +0000 http://whatdomormonsbelieve.com/?p=12#comment-56 I've had things revealed to me. As a person who's very indecisive, I honestly sometimes don't know what to do. Some would argue that when a decision is revealed to me, it is merely an expression of an inner, more confident me - that I somewhere inside myself knew the answer all along. In some cases, that may be true. In others, I know it could not have been anything other than divine revelation.<br/><br/>Here's another, perhaps more tangible experience. What about the time I prayed to know where my student ID card was? Totally lost. I honestly did not know where it could be (as my two year old son had found it and slid it off in a random nook in our house). I finished that prayer and walked straight to my son's clever hiding place and pulled out the card. I know God helped me find it. Why He deemed it important enough to reveal to me, I don't know. But I know I would NEVER have thought to look there on my own accord. I’ve had things revealed to me. As a person who’s very indecisive, I honestly sometimes don’t know what to do.

Elder Hafen's talk is one of my favorites. I highly recommend the "trilogy on the heart" series, beginning with "A Believing Heart", then "A Broken Heart", and culminating with "A Belonging Heart". Very insightful into the Atonement and how it is such a part of our life and our relationships with both divinity and all humanity. Then, I saw this post on The Book of Mormon. What a power for good this book has been in my life. People seriously don't even know what they're missing out on when they allow other people to scare them into not wanting to even pick it up. It has brought me closer to Christ than any other book. I find joy and inspiration in all the scriptures, but particularly The Book of Mormon. Thanks for the post!
