50 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

51 Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.

And did you know that the Lord doesn’t expect us to diet? Trust me! Turn to 2 Nephi 9:51. Now look at the very last line. It says, “Let your soul delight in fatness.” But feast on what? Chocolate? Look closely: Feast on his word….Did you know that feasting could be so guilt-free?...Why not gain some spiritual weight? It’s not always easy [to read the scripture], and there are things I still don’t understand. But…craving the Lord’s companionship, the scriptures infuse my spirit with the Spirit. They will do the same for you.
