Omni 1:25

"And it came to pass that I began to be old; and, having no seed, and knowing king Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord, wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him, exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel, and believe in prophesying, and in revelations, and in the ministering of angels, and in the gift of speaking with tongues, and in the gift of interpreting languages, and in all things which are good; for there is nothing which is good save it comes from the Lord; and that which is evil cometh from the devil."

Omni 1:25

"Believe in . . . all things which are good." ... I *love* that.  And I think that it is important.  It is easy to remember things that are bad, or to dwell on them.  To be cynical or negative, and to see the bad things that are around us.  And bad things are all around us, it is true.  ... But the distortion there is that there are also good things all around us.  If we believe in only the bad things, then we're hurting ourselves and limiting our viewpoints.  We choose what we see, just as we choose what to believe in.  Part of the gift that Christ gave us was free agency... freedom to see *beyond* the encroaching shadows, to the ultimate brightness.  On the surface, the choices aren't hard... choose good and not bad. :)  As we all know, sometimes it is a lot harder than it seems, but the core truth is still there.  *We* make the decision.  there is good permeating the universe, and it is even more pervasive than the bad.  Today, let's be sure to see it.
