“And it came to pass
after I had prayed unto the Lord …I beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to
make one happy. And it came to pass that I did go forth and partake of the
fruit most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted, yea, and I beheld that the
fruit thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen. And
as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy;
wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for
I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.” (1Nephi 8:9 – 12)
As I read this I think how I have tasted of this fruit,
which is Jesus Christ the Lord, and yet, in my daily life I am sometimes
distracted and put other things before the Lord. In so doing I rob myself of so much joy.
