"Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men." Alma 48:17
I have always loved this scripture. It comes from The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. We have been counseled to seek learning from the best books. I know that the Book of Mormon is one of the best books on this earth today. I am grateful that the prophets of old took time to write about righteous examples for us to read about today. Moroni was one of those men. He fought for freedom and righteousness for all of his days and without wearying. He never backed down from his faith or his desire to serve the Lord until the end of his days. I hope that I can live like this great man of old. I know I'm not perfect and that some days I will slip, but trying and enduring to the end are what counts.
