Mosiah 1-3: pt 3

This time I really did miss a day. My life lost a little of its structure after finishing the semester Friday. I am repenting for having missed a day, and I will strive to not make it a habit.

Chapter 2 verse 21 tells us we are unprofitable servants. I am about to start an internship that will last almost 4 months. I don't know how to do the things I will be asked to do this summer, and it will take more work for my employer to train me than to simply do the things himself. This summer I will not be an asset to the company that employs me. I will make no profit. I will spend the summer learning how to do things on my own so that hopefully in the future I will be profitable. Likewise, here on earth none of us has achieved godhood. We are still being trained, and any good thing we do is creditable to the Lord, not to ourselves. But the Lord knows our potential, and if we continue to be teachable and bend our wills to his, some day we will achieve godhood. Some day we will be profitable.
