You Have Enough
I've complained to my wife that I need more scripture. At the approach of each general conference I wonder if President Nelson might announce the publication of the Brass Plates, or of the writings of Joseph which were on the other papyrus which was discovered with the Egyptian mummies, or perhaps he'll announce the publication of some other ancient scripture that we have been promised to someday have. I have even prayed for additional scripture.
We have more scripture than anyone else in the world. In addition to the Bible, we have the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and many, many years-worth of general conference addresses. I am reading the Book of Mormon for the 83rd time. I have read the Doctrine and Covenants 19 times. I have read the New Testament 16 times, and the Old Testament several times. I have read the Pearl of Great Price innumerable times, and have closely scrutinized every address given in general conference over the past 53 years.
This morning I received a revelation from the Lord meant just for me. I was reading a general conference address about living prophets, personal revelation, and our widely available scriptures. A thought came into my mind that plainly said, "You have enough. You have enough to return yourselves to the presence of God, if you will use it." I was told to be patient and the Lord will reveal these additional writings in His own time.
