And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children. Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
I just love how Nephi says that his "soul delighteth in the scriptures... and in the things of the Lord." It reminds me of the hymn, "More Holiness Give Me". I feel that constant yearning, that upward pull to be better, to do better. I love the Lord with all of my heart and desire so strongly to be more like Him. I truly do delight in the things of the Lord. My problem is that I am so weak in so many areas that my weaknesses get in the way of my progression and eternal growth. I do have hope that I will get better as I see myself slowly change over the years. It is a long, grueling process and not nearly as quick as I'd like it to be be. But I am hopeful that someday I will be like Him, even if it takes a millenia.
