There is a Chinese proverb that says:
Plant a Bean and Get a Bean, Plant a Melon and Get a Melon (種豆得豆,種瓜得瓜)
As I was reading in 2 Nephi Chapter 2 this morning, I came up with a variation on this. In verse 11, Nephi explains how his brothers Laman and Lemuel were complaining about the hardships they were required to endure. One of which was "to leave the land of their inheritance." After inferring a few things, I came up with this variation on the Chinese proverb:
"Follow the Lord's command to leave your land of inheritance and inherit an even greater inheritance."
How often do we have something that the Lord asks us to give up, which seems hard! If we would only realize that by giving it up we can obtain so much more in return.
