He believes in us

     This past week I have been reading in Mosiah for my scripture study. I was reading chapter 7, and verse 33 says "But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage." Now I know I touched on this last week, but this scripture really just affirmed to me the love that God has for all of us.
     The phrase "according to his own will and pleasure" implies that He wants to deliver us out of bondage. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to be righteous and to be obedient to the commandments because He wants to be with us again. A few years ago I had a thought that comes to my mind often. Heavenly Father let us go, knowing that some of us may never return. He loves us so much that He blessed us with this experience on earth, knowing that some of us would mess up. But He believes in us, and if we are obedient to Him, He will be more than happy to let us be back in His presence.
