I came across this scripture the other day in my scripture study and I just thought it was too awesome not to share. I've been wanting to share it with everyone. The last line, is my particular favorite.
2 Nephi 29:12-14 (emphasis added)
2 Nephi 29:12-14 (emphasis added)
"For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it.
And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.
And it shall come to pass that my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; and my word also shall be gathered in one. And I will show unto them that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham that I would remember his seed forever."
This scripture is talking about how all the different people have kept records of the Lord's dealing with them, and how one day they will all be brought together and we will be able to see that all of these different records from different groups of people are all about how the Lord has remembered His people, how the Lord has remembered us.
covenanted = promised.
The Lord promised to remember us.
covenanted = promised.
The Lord promised to remember us.
Isn't that just that best feeling ever?
The Lord doesn't break His promises. The Lord remembers us. He remembers us as a people, and he remembers us as individuals.
How neat is that?
The scriptures bear testimony to us that there is a God and that He remembers us. I know that is true. I know that the Lord remembers me because I have seen it in my life. I know that the Lord remembers my children, remembers my family, remembers my friends... that is awesome knowledge.

Way cool! I love that scripture and I love how you point out that he remembers us as a group and as individuals. Thanks for sharing!
