are you really strong enough?

I felt inspired to record the impression I just had during my morning study of The Book of Mormon. I am trying to wrap my head around every concept and story in a broad stroke of firstly, 1 Nephi, and Someone me toned something I never  considered implications of before. It was in the dream that Lehi had of the tree of life, and he portook of tge fruit and it was incredibly desirous...yeah, and then he instantly looks for his family to share it with. And when he sees them he calls out and beckons to them. Isn't that noteworthy?

He does not leave the tree once he finds it, though he wants to share it, no doubt about it. It reminded me of a scene in the video about Gordon B. Hinckley where his wife says that she always knew that he would place God first in his life. And it is clear how if you place God first, your relationship with eachother will be strengthened, I digress... The realization to share was that one ought not ever considered themselves sufficient to a task, or in otherworldly, strong enough. 
We often feel mighty and strong and sure when we are being helped but if we wander off to help others that confidence will fade fast.
