1 Nephi 1:17-20; 2: 1-4.

I could feel my cheeks threatening to burn red, as heat rushed to my face. I had not backed down from my belief but I could feel my friend starting to bristle in quiet frustration and possible anger. I took a deep breath, and my mind flickered quickly to the Lord's promise to Lehi: that he would be made mighty because of his faith. I knew my path of learning faith was not without its thorns, and more than ever Lehi's sacrifice resonated as its own fire within my bones. In this episode, we see that to stand resolute in faith might mean confronting loss, but that the Lord's embrace is always nearer than we think.
