Inspire. What a deep word. The first thing I thought of was Christ. How many people did he inspire? He was such a good person that people wanted to be like him and they were 'inspired' to find out what made him such a great individual. I also thought about Joseph Smith. He was inspired by a passage that stated "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all man liberally..." And from there, he was inspired to pray to the Lord to find out which church was true; finding that non of them were correct and that he was the one that was chosen to bring the true church back to the earth. He was inspired to build temples, translate The Book of Mormon ect. Just by those acts, he is inspiring people all around the word to come to find out for themselves if the church is true.
Inspirations- what inspires you??
