"22 Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the noble and great ones;
23 And
God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of
them, and he said: These I will make my rulers; for he stood among those
that were spirits, and he saw that they were good; and he said unto me:
Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast chosen before thou wast born." Abraham 3:22-23
Back in the day, Elder Allred always referenced this scripture, and whenever he said goodbye he would say "You are noble and great." I finally figured out which scripture it was that he was referencing, and it's this one. I love this scripture so much. I can't even imagine how many people I know that are considered noble and great. Most of them probably are, considering the fact that they are here in the first place. It just amazes me.
While I'm at it, I might as well share another scripture, since those are fun.
"I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." Ether 12:6
It is incredible how true that is. How can we ever receive a witness of our Savior until after a trial of our faith? We would learn nothing if life was easy. There would be no fight, no chance to endure, if we were able to see God, instead of believing for ourselves that He is. Just food for thought.
