There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

32-33 1 Ne. 15:19-16:6

Humility is the key to unlock the blessings of heaven. When we are humble, we are teachable, and when we can be taught we can continue to learn and progress eternally. Instead of being offended or sad (like Laman and Lemuel) when we receive counsel and correction, let us be willing and able to change and grow. We should look at it as an opportunity to grow, not as a devaluation of our self worth. Looking for ways to improve ourselves will never be a "hard thing" to do, but will be something to look forward to.
