Many people have a favorite Super Here... My favorite super hero is Green Lantern...
Why Green Lantern, Do you ask?... Well let me tell you.
No one really knows who he is or what his real power is. He often gets overshadowed by the all famous superhero's like...Batman, Superman and even Iron man. Can you imagine how hard it would be to be doing all this good and trying your very hardest only to be put on the back burner time and time again.
All anyone really knows is that he has a really cool ring that does really cool things, but what are those cool things? And did you know that there are more than one Green Lantern! It is actually a force of Intergalactic Police! Who Knew!
But Still Poor Poor Green Lantern Gets passed by all because no one knows of the true power he holds in that small ring!
He did not let this deter him from defending the right and fulfilling his purpose
One of my favorite Scripture Hero's has a similar story!
Moroni was a prophet of old. One with Great power and ability, and he held something and cared for something with great power. So great of power that it can change the hearts of men.
Much Like Green Lantern Moroni is often looked over, but also similar to Green Lantern he did not let that stop him from doing what he knew was right.
As the last Prophet to write in the Book of Mormon he carried a great burden, and a great responsibility. He was intrusted with the care of the word or God. For twenty years he shouldered this burden, running for his life for the threat he faced was great! Because of this silent sufferer, The Book of Mormon was protected and made ready for Joseph Smith to find them many years later.
I give thanks for these silent superhero's doing what they need to do even though no one is watching and the fame passes them by.
You know who also can change the hearts and emotions of men? Jasper Cullen. True story. Like the Book of Mormon, the Twilight Series testifies of these things.
ReplyDeleteThe people that need the most recognition are the ones that are rarely given it, because they are the behind the scene "do-gooders".
ReplyDeleteI think about Jesus Christ's life and how he never sought worldly acclaim and fame. He was a quite person that went about doing good for others, and gave all the glory to His father, our Heavenly Father. I'm grateful for The Book of Mormon and for the things I learn about my Savior and my Heavenly Father, and the spirit that testifies that they love me and teach me the things I need to do to be able to live with them again. And I'm also grateful for Moroni, and the other prophets that kept the record so faithfully! :)
