The words of the Lord are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven times.
When I am particularly distressed (and even though I love the Book of Mormon) I like to go back to the four gospels and read "the words of Jesus". Nothing brings me greater peace then reading His words.
When I am angry with someone He reminds me to "Go thy way and first be reconciled to thy brother".
When I am unforgiving He reminds me I must forgive "until seventy times seven", always asking me to grow and to trust that He will help me "for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
When I am sad there is great comfort in knowing He is there. I find peace as I read "I am the light of the world" or "whosoever drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life"
I could go on and on with words of the Savior that I love so much. The Savior's words have great power when I read them. They have guided my life. How grateful I am to have had access to them and the great privilege of reading over and over these beautiful words of scripture.
