1 Nephi 11:2 -- On Desires

"And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou?"
1 Nephi 11:2


This is a question that Nephi was asked and the answer led to Nephi seeing the vision that his father saw of the tree of life

I think this is also what the Spirit asks of each of us, and the answer makes a huge difference in who we are.  ... What do we really desire?  Do we want earthly things... money, fame, power, etc... or do we want spiritual things like hope, faith, peace?  Often we want both, but to attain our desires, we need to focus in and work on getting there, with God's help.

Today, let's try to figure out what we really want, so we have an answer to give God when he asks... which he will.   Let's not float through life uncertain of where we're headed and changing our minds constantly.  Let's set our sites on heaven, and commit our path to returning to God.  As we do, we'll have God's help in achieving our righteous desires. :)
