"Above All Other Fruit"

In my personal scripture study, I was reminded that Lehi described the fruit of the the tree of life as being "desirable above all other fruit" (1Nephi 8:12). That means it's more desirable than anything else we can get in this world. It's better than having fun and sleeping in. It's better than chocolate and other treats. It's better than all the material possessions on the earth combined. The fruit of the gospel is better than anything else we could possibly want instead, and it's worth any sacrifice to get it. So I'll try not to forget the value of the prize I'm fighting for, and I'll try not to let any lesser prize distract me from achieving my ultimate goal.
