"And behold, all things are written by the Father; therefore out of the books which shall be written shall the world be judged."
3 Nephi 27:26
I like the idea of God as literally the author of the universe, writing us this amazing story. I also think this is a good scripture to remember as we are working to be honest in our lives. If we remember that God already knows everything, and that eventually it will all be revealed, it can make it easier to let go of the things that we try to hide, not only from others, but from ourselves. Twain wrote that you can't pray a lie, and I think that is true. God is the source of truth, and talking to him about things helps us to understand the truth better.
Writing also helps. Sometimes just writing down all the stuff that we are thinking and feeling helps us to make sense of it... like prayer, but on paper and in a form that we can actually go back and see how our thinking evolved.
Today, let's make sure God is writing a good story about our lives. Let's live better, and get on the same page with God... and maybe even write some of it ourselves, so that we understand the truth of all of it a little better as well.
