The Blessing of Scriptures

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, sometimes called Mormons, and have been my whole life! I am so grateful for the influence of the Savior in my life! I am not perfect; far from actually, but I strive every day to come nearer to be like the Lord Jesus Christ. One of the ways that I try to achieve my best every day is through daily prayer to my God in Heaven, and to read the scriptures that He has given us through His holy prophets. As a member of the LDS faith, I read from the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. The Holy Bible is from the prophets in the old world of Jerusalem. The Book of Mormon is from a group of people that left Jerusalem and sailed on a ship to the Americas about 600 B.C., where the Lord ordained prophets among their midst so that they would not forget His eternal truths. The Doctrine and Covenants is a compiled book of revelations received from God by the prophet Joseph Smith. I am so grateful for all of these holy words in my life! I learn so much and through them the Lord is able to lead and guide and teach me day by day. If you want to learn more or have questions that I may not have answered, the answers can be found at www.lds.org. I hope you enjoy!
