I just read King Benjamin's address to his people in chapter 2 of Mosiah. He talks about so many things. The reason why I chose to read that chapter in the first place was because he mentions how we have to choose to remember Heavenly Father's hand in all things. We have to choose to serve our fellow men. We have to choose to be disciples of Christ. And that even after we have done all of that, we are still eternally indebted to him.
We start out being indebted to him because he created this world for us to live on. And he created our bodies to keep us alive, allowing us to learn the lessons we need to learn while on this earth. How can you ever repay someone who gave you your body? It's amazing.
Then, he asks us to keep his commandments. That's a way to repay him, right? But when we keep his commandments, he blesses us because of it. So we are always, always in debt to him. Not to mention he had Christ suffer the sins of all mankind, giving us the keys to be able to completely repent and become more like him. That's a whole other story.
Heavenly Father will continue to bless us. He loves us, he wants us to be happy and to find joy. That's the whole point of the plan of salvation. Men are, that they might have joy. We just have to remember to acknowledge him in all things. Good times and bad. He wants a close relationship with us. That's up to us how close we want to get to him. And hopefully we realize that the closer we get to him, the happier we are.
