What do ye desire?

When the risen Lord visited the Nephites and organized his Church upon this continent he asked his disciples one by one saying, “What is it ye desire of me after that I am gone to the Father? And they all spake, save it were three saying, We desire that after we have lived unto the age of man, that our ministry… may have an end that we may speedily come unto thee to thy Kingdom. And he said unto them, Blessed are ye because ye desire this thing of me. Therefore after that ye are seventy and two years old ye shall come unto me in my kingdom and with me ye shall find rest. ” (3 Nephi 28:1-3)

Isn’t it interesting that we get to choose our plight. Of course, daily we make many choices that either draw us near to Christ or distance ourselves from him, but in the end we have kept our promise or we haven’t. The important thing is that if we have kept our promises we are able to come unto Christ in his kingdom and with him find rest.
