Day # 27
I am grateful for the blessings this scripture has brought into my life.
"If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15)
To love God is to keep His commandments. I have seen the blessings and the protection from keeping the commandments. Fear leaves, I am calm and know that God loves me and you. His commandments are a way of giving us freedom. Freedom from fear, freedom from hate or jealousy, freedom from addictions, or the burden of guilt.
When I finally chose to be obedient, to "love God with all my heart, might, mind, and strength" (see D&C 59:5), I no longer had the inner fight of should I or shouldn't I keep this or do that. As I have come to love God more and more there has been an inner peace that has filled my heart and mind. All I can say is that it is a wonderful feeling. Indeed, living this way is "after the manner of happiness." (2 Nephi 5:27) This I testify.
