Remembering is so important in remaining faithful and keeping the Spirit with us. It's mentioned in both of the sacrament prayers.
Nephi mentions three things that he wishes his brothers would remember.
- Ye have seen an angel of the Lord. We also have had spiritual manifestations - testimony builders - that we need to keep in remembrance and never forget.
- What great things the Lord has done for us. We are so blessed! And it's so easy to forget those blessings and begin to take them for granted. Counting our blessings and praising the Lord for them protects us against the hard-heartedness that Laman and Lemuel demonstrate.
- The Lord is able to do ALL things for his children IF they exercise faith in Him. Nothing is too hard for the Lord, yet we doubt and fear. We need to follow Nephi's example and GO and DO.
Look up the word "remember" and you find many wonderful verses. Remembering is a great key to joy and happiness in this life and in helping us return to our Heavenly Father and having eternal exaltation in the next.
