best friend

Have you ever been asked "If your house was on fire and you could only run back in for one thing what would you go get?" I have thought of this question time and time again. Lately only one thing comes back to my mind... My Scriptures! That is the only thing that I would run back in for. Yes I enjoy pictures and I love family keep sakes, but no worldly item mean more to me then my precious and loved Scriptures.

I love my Scriptures so much. I treat them with great respect and they have become a great friend to me. I love  Doctrine in Covenants 130:18 "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection." I want to attain ALL the intelligence that I can. I want to know my scriptures front and back and back again. In them I find the true meanings of life. I find the bold and loving truths and I find a stronger relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." (John 5:39) I search them. I mark them and I desire to become what they teach us to become. 

I know that the scriptures are true. Not only the Bible but the Book of Mormon. I have taken the promise of Moroni, (Moroni 10:3-5) I have asked in faith and I have received an answer that it is true. If my 9 year old Nephew can read the Book of Mormon, pray and ask if it is true and receive a witness from the Holy Ghost that it is, anyone that wants to know will receive a witness!! Love your scriptures. Make them one of your best friends and you will never be let down. We will run in together to grab our most prized possession.
