[F]or thus hath the Lord commanded me, and I must obey.
-- 2 Nephi 33:15
I love the power of this statement.
Lately I have felt overwhelmed with love I feel both from and for God. Life is marvelous, and life is exponentially more marvelous when we can follow guidance from a loving Father who wants nothing but our happiness and growth. Everything in life is worth it if, through our experiences, we can come to realize our nothingness before God and come to rely upon Him. It is only then that we can be as Nephi and recognize that we truly have no other option than to obey.
I love this. It's good to remind me of the power of obedience. When we are willing to be obedient to commandments even if we don't totally understand them, it shows humility and willingness to follow God. It's amazing how it took me a while to get this . . . hope I do well enough now that I do!
