I Love the Scriptures!

Yesterday in my reading I came across this scripture:
Genesis 18:19 "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."

I really like this message, I want the Lord to be able to say this of me. I want to teach my children correct principles so that the Lord knows that He can trust me to do His will and then He will be able to do all that He has promised me He will.

I also came across this one:
D&C 38:4 "I am the same which have taken the Zion of Enoch into mine own bosom; and verily, I say, even as many as have believed in my name, for I am Christ, and in mine own name, by the virtue of the blood which I have spilt, have I pleaded before the Father for them."

How wonderful to have reaffirmed to me that my prayers are heard and the Savior is my advocate with Heavenly Father. I imagine that in my low times when I cry out He goes to Heavenly Father and pleads my case for me. This just gives me great comfort to know that He cares for me that much.
