So Long As Time Shall Last

Don't have a bunch of time but this week I've been thinking a lot about miracles. It's a term that's thrown around pretty casually out here and it's always bothered me. I guess I have a pretty high standard for intervention from God. It's taught very clearly that miracles are wrought by faith, which is a profound statement to me. Because wouldn't the miracle being wrought eliminate the faith of the individual? Because they now have a perfect knowledge of at least something. I want to experience breathtaking, unexplainable miracles. And I feel like I've seen a few, but I'm continuously striving for more faith. It is so important. A foreboding prophecy from Moroni: 

35 And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these things are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will show unto you, with power and great glory at the last day, that they are true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased?

36 Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?

37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain.

"All is vain." It's not enough to just go through the motions. I pray that all is not vain and that we may develop the faith necessary to receive miracles and appearances of angels. Keep moving forward! I love you guys.
