“Even to the Exhausting of His Strength”

Brant Gardner

We are not given any explanation of the different physical effect of this joy on the various participants in this reunion. Only Ammon is so overcome that his strength fails him. This should not suggest that the others were less spiritual, for among them was Alma the Younger, a rather spiritual man in his own right. We should understand that the Spirit will effect different people in different ways at different times. It is important that we are in tune with the Spirit, not that we manifest that “in-tuneness” in any particular way.
