My companion and I were teaching someone the other day and in the lesson, we asked them how they felt when they read the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon. Their answer was beautiful. They said that it felt like Heavenly Father was sitting beside them. I love that response! The scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon, open the windows of revelation. We can feel the Holy Ghost and know that the words are true. I know that the Holy Ghost can bear witness to the reader that it is true, because they are the words of Christ.
"And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of the Lord." -1 Nephi 1: 12
Just like in this scripture, we can be filled with the Spirit of the Lord as we read from the scriptures daily. How wonderful of a promise! I know that to be true!
