You Messed Up, but God’s Plan Stands
Joseph, you made a mistake. You let pride and fear sway you, and now the sacred records I trusted you with are gone. But even though you failed, My work will not. What I have planned will move forward, no matter what.
My Words Won’t Fail
The promises I made are unshakable. I warned you not to let the manuscript out of your control, but you didn’t listen. Now the wicked are using it against you. But don’t worry—no one can stop what I’ve set in motion.
Trust in Me, Not Yourself
You were chosen to bring this work forward because I knew you were humble and weak. Don’t let your heart be troubled. This isn’t about human strength—it’s about My power. Learn from this. Let your mistakes teach you humility and dependence on Me.
The Bigger Picture
The Book of Mormon will still come forth, as I’ve planned. It’s part of My great work to restore truth to the world. It will testify of Me and help establish My everlasting covenant among all people. Those who believe and follow will find salvation.
This Is Bigger Than You
Remember, Joseph, this isn’t about you—it’s about Me. What I’ve started will grow and fill the earth. My purposes cannot be stopped, no matter the opposition.
Get Back on Track
So repent, turn back to Me, and keep going. I’ll forgive you because I’ve called you to do this work. Stay faithful, and I’ll bless you. Don’t let this failure hold you back. Keep your eyes on the mission I’ve given you.
