In 2 Nephi 28, Nephi's like, "So everything I said is true and really important and just listen to it. In the latter days, when my progenitors are going to be reading this stuff, people are gonna be going around saying, 'There's no God,' or 'God doesn't do miracles anymore. He already did all that,' or 'There is a God, but he won't care about the little stuff.' Don't believe them."
Nephi goes through and talks about a bunch of different kinds of sins. He spends a lot of verses talking about blasphemy and pride and foolishness. And then, toward the end of the discussion, he says in one simple verse: "So, repent. Just do it. God's arms are always extended." When I first read this, I was thinking about other people. Yeah, they should just repent. But then I realized I needed to be thinking about myself and my sins and just repent of them. And stop doing that. I prayed that I'd be able to forgive a couple people that I have bitter feelings toward. I think and hope that for GC this weekend, I will know what I can give up and improve for the Lord. And I hope my heart is humble and open to receiving that. Maybe I should pray for it.
