Moses 1:1-6

1 The words of God, which he spake unto Moses at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceedingly high mountain,

2 And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence.

3 And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless?

4 And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease.

5 Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth.

6 And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I know them all.

I find it so comforting to know that the God's knowledge and experience is "Endless". He knows all things that have happened before we were here, so he has the wisdom and the knowledge to help us.

In verse 6 I want you to replace the name of Moses with your own name and replace the word son with daughter. "And I have a work for thee, my daughter; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I know them all."

We were created just like the Savior, full of grace and truth. The Savior is our brother and just like our mortal families we have characteristics just like him. I don't mean the same eye color, I mean that we have the same divine inheritance that he has.

Like the Savior we need to trust that the work God has given us to do will better our lives and the lives of those we serve. We also need to have faith that when our Father in Heaven says that he knows all things, he really does!

I have a testimony that God speaks to us through our prophets, through personal revelation and through prayer. He tells us what needs to be done, and then lets us decide whether or not we want to do it. We have the Book of Mormon because of a 14 year old boys obedience to his Heavenly Father. Like Moses, Joseph Smith was just a man trying to show obedience to Heavenly Father. Like Moses, Joseph Smith's faith and actions have blessed generations of people after him.

If a 14 year old boy can exercise that amount of faith, then so can we.

I Love You!
