Alma 33:21
I love this phrase...

"O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?"
For me, right now, I know the blessings of a future family that He wants to give me are RIGHT THERE.


All I need to do is have faith and cast my eyes to behold them.
 
Alma 34: 35
Something really hit home today reading this.
"...if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you;..."
I think this is why sometimes I don't feel Him near me--He's far away/withdrawn from me because I'm far away from Him.

The best thing I can do to fulfill His plan is to be near to Him so that the devil does not seal me his....
