Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

3 Nephi 5

I have no problem writing on the pages of my scriptures.  At the bottom of 3 Nephi 5:13 I found this written in my own messy handwriting, though I don't remember putting it there:  "*read in front of mirror on bad day--send to Jason."

What is this uplifting verse that I am to say in front of the mirror on a bad day?

"Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life."  

This was written by Mormon as he explained who he was and why he was making this record of the things that had happened since Lehi left Jerusalem.  But it really applies to anyone who is trying to follow Jesus Christ.  Jason was on a mission when I wrote this or I would not have written, "Send to Jason."

I don't know what caused me to write this down, but looking at it now seems rather bold--me, a disciple of Jesus Christ? But it must be something real and important because someone bothered to make a landing page for it on lds.org.

What a marvelous message!  I hope that I say it to myself in front of the mirror everyday, not just on bad days.
