Yesterday, I talked to a woman who is preparing to go to England as a missionary, Sister I. She is an amazing pencil drawing artist, and she has five children. As we discussed how we could help other people learn about Jesus Christ, she shared with me her favorite Book of Mormon scripture. Her scriptures were worn and well loved. Highlighted in red pencil, I read these words:
"Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the mortal body?
"I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?"
- The Book of Mormon, Alma 5:15-16
Sister I. told me she loves loves to imagine what it will be like when you see Jesus Christ after death, and hear His voice. She said she envisions Him powerful, above the mountains and the clouds. Everything He has will be ours, if we follow Him.
Can you imagine?
