Day 9- 1 Nephi 21

What is happening?
  1. The Savior shall come and be a light to the Gentiles.
  2. He will not forget us because we are graven upon the palms of his hands.
  3. Israel shall be gathered in the last days.
How does this apply to my life?
  1.   I love that this is again testifying of Christ. I know that it is compared to Isaiah 49, but I think it is great to have another testiment here in the Book of Mormon.
  2. The gathering of Israel is not far off...am I ready for it?
  3. I love how much I can feel the Savior's love here. I will discuss it more below.
Favorite Verse? Why?
Vs 15-16 "For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; they walls are continually before me."
Again, I love how much I can feel Jesus Christ's love for me as an individual. I have heard the saying that even if I was the only person alive, He would have still suffered for me. That is how much He loves me as an individual. He cannot forget ME because I am graven upon his hands. I think that is amazing. It is also inspiring to do good in the world so that Christ does not have to suffer more for my sins. I hate doing things that cause Him pain.
