Moroni chapter 8:25-26 of Book of Mormon states " and the first fruits of repentance is baptism; and baptism cometh by faith unto the fulfilling the commandments; and the fulfilling the commandments bringeth remission of sins; and the remission of sins bringeth meekness, and lowliness of heart; and because of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of the Holy Ghost, which Comforter filleth with hope and perfect love, which love endureth by diligence unto prayer, until the end shall come, when all the saints shall dwell with God."
I am greatful for Heavenly Father's works in our hearts whereby upon our obedience unto Him, He will provide us conviction to help us be qualified to spiritually mature unto eventual perfection.  Our Almighty God is mindful of each of us and our weaknesses and longs for us to grow by obedience and receive eternal exaltation in likeness of Him.  This exaltation in words of prophet Spencer Kimbal, "can only be earned by our works such as paying tithing, living the word of wisdom, having family prayers, fasting, attending meetings, serving..." Prophet Kimbal continued to say, " He must receive the ordinances, and he must be faithful, overcoming his weaknesses."  I am greatful for our latter day prophets who speak revelations from God to gather and direct all people unto Heavenly Father's  fold and into His rest.
