"And it came to pass that I began to be old, and an hundred and seventy and nine years had passed away from the time that our father Lehi left Jerusalem.
And I saw that I must soon go down to my grave, having been wrought upon by the power of God that I must preach and prophesy unto this people, and declare the word according to the truth which is in Christ. And I have declared it in all my days, and have rejoiced in it above that of the world.
And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father. Amen."
Enos 1:25-27
This is the end of the story of Enos, and what I really liked today about this selection is the part where he is talking about looking forward to standing before Christ: "then shall I see his face with pleasure." I think that is an absolutely amazing way to look at the judgement day. Sometimes it seems scary when we read or talk about it, but what Enos wrote... that is the way that it *should* be. :)
Today, let's get on the path to that kind of happy judgement day. :) Let's learn of God and learn from God. Let's take his advice to get our lives under control, and on a better track, and learn to love the people around us, especially the ones that seem unlovable. :) Let's do our best to be good... and as we walk God's path, we'll be able to look forward to happiness in the future rather than fear. :)
