My Favorite Scripture 1 Nephi 17:50



My favorite scripture is found in the Book of Mormon in the Book of Nephi chapter 17 verse 50.   It says:
50 And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done.

     This is Nephi talking to his brothers after Nephi told them how he was going to build a ship.  His brothers thought he was crazy and this was Nephi's response.  I love Nephi.  He has so much courage and faith.  His response to his brothers has affected me greatly.  There is nothing that the Lord has asked that I can't do.  
     Something interesting that just came to my mind is forgiveness.  This is something the Lord has asked me to do,  I need to find Nephi's faith inside of me and get over this hurdle that is hurting me.  Why is forgiveness so hard??  I need to pray to be like Nephi, because I know these words are true.  God has commanded forgiveness so I can do it.  

Love,
