Always Retain in Remembrance the Greatness of God
"And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to
the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his
goodness and have tasted of
his love, and have received a remission of
your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls,
even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your
own nothingness, and his goodness and
long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves
even in the depths of humility, calling on
the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in
the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of
the angel."
Recognizing our "nothingness" and "unworthiness" before God is not the same concept as recognizing our own self worth. Without God and Jesus Christ as the center of our lives, we are nothing. They have provided everything we have, and everything we are.
We must also recognize our strength and abilities, that in partnership with Heaven, we can accomplish anything! We must recognize that our individual strengths derive from this partnership.
May each of us, as we always retain in remembrance the greatness of God, also retain in remembrance the strength we bear through our partnership with Heaven!
