Last night I read the Book of Jarom. I loved verse 12 of that chapter (the only chapter in the whole book). I loved the very end of the verse, "for they did prick their hearts with the word, continually stirring them up unto repentance."
I really like how the verb "pricked" was used. I think it explains how the Spirit can nudge you so well! Heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves, and he knows what we need to feel in order to continue to try and keep our lives in order. I think the term "prick" is a perfect example of what it is to feel enough guilt to realize you should be continually praying to Heavenly Father and trying to be better. I don't think I've heard that term used in the scriptures yet, so I think that's a big reason why I liked it so much.
