Tonight I read a few verses in D&C 1:19-24. I really like verse 19 that says, "the weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones." To me that just shows what is truly weak and what is truly strong. And I love verses 21-23 also that express the desires of the Lord in these last days: "that faith might increase in the earth; that mine everlasting covenant might be established; that the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed..." The use of the word "might" stands out to me because it shows a loving Father who has great hopes for his children and who allows them their free agency. These things will come about only if we, as His faithful children, choose to do our part in bringing them about. I, for one, choose to do my part. I love the Lord and His holy purposes. I will follow His plan.
