Condescension of God

In 1 Nephi 11:16, it asks, "Knowest thou the condescension of God?

I love Nephi's answer, "I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things."

He's my guy!  That is exactly how I feel so often.  I KNOW that my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Savior LOVE me in a way that I can't even comprehend...yet, I do not know the meaning of all things.  I feel like a "baby" in the gospel, I know so little, but I do know that I am loved. 

I have this definition written in my Book of Mormon,
    condescension: put aside one's superiority or dignity and assume equality with one considered inferior.   Voluntarily!

This. Is. Amazing to me.  Our Savior, put aside every comfort, every support, every praise, to be born, to live for us and to die for us, to atone for us, and to live again FOR US.  He came to MINISTER.  That was all he wanted to do.  To do the will of His Father.

This is humbling to me.  Why do I do things?  Yes, I hope and want to do things to help others, because I love them.  But it also always feels good to get praise.

My desire is ..., just as was spoken of in the womens session  by Sister Joy D. Jones,  ... to have my motive, for all that I do, be because of my LOVE for my Savior and for my Heavenly Parents.  That I am doing it for them, not because it is my duty, or to make me feel good...but because I LOVE THEM!
