Hope, Faith and Love

I deserved a kick in the pants but when I put it to the Lord above this was the response ...
And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did, that they may become sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are.                 Ether 4:7
Always lifting and encouraging and loving - the positive gave me far more of a kick to get going in the right way than a negative response would have done, even though I was prepared for the other.

Those that came before worked so hard to give us what we have today.  How can we not work hard for them and our future posterity as well.

Where do you stand ---

 When playing roulette with scriptures I first received a warning, but if I change, then a blessing  2 Nephi 32: 7 And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be. Ether 4:13 Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief.
