Blessing Quote by Joseph Smith, Jr
![“Great blessings await us at this time, and will soon be poured out upon us, if we are faithful in all things, for we are even entitled to greater spiritual blessings than they [the faithful at the time of Christ] were, because they had Christ in person with them, to instruct them in the great plan…” quote by Joseph Smith, Jr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/45b/joseph-smith-jr-1647_blessing_great-blessings-await-us-at-this-time-an_982619.jpg)
“Great blessings await us at this time, and will soon be poured out upon us, if we are faithful in all things, for we are even entitled to greater spiritual blessings than they [the faithful at the time of Christ] were, because they had Christ in person with them, to instruct them in the great plan of salvation. His personal presence we have not, therefore we have need of greater faith.”
