He is a loving Father who's ultimate goal is to have us return and live with Him again in eternal glory. I am grateful to have this knowledge and to know that He loves us and wants what is best for us. Peace in this life and eternal glory in the life to come is only granted to us by our Savior. I hope we can all learn to love the Savior more, and share this plan of happiness with all those we come in contact with.

We need to work and learn, search and pray, repent and improve. We need to know God’s laws and live them. We need to receive His saving ordinances. Only by so doing will we obtain true, eternal happiness.
