Although we cannot accurately do this, imagine for a moment that you were in Heavenly Father’s place.
Just imagine.
Imagine you had to send many children to the earth.
And these children wouldn’t remember anything.
But you would hope they would still choose to be good people and learn about truth.
Doesn’t that seem like an overwhelming task?!
How could these children ever possibly learn truth and return to heaven?!
Well… think about everything our Heavenly Father has given us to succeed.
He gave us scriptures filled with doctrine and faith-filled stories.
He gave us prophets and apostles to spread inspired messages.
We are born into families.
He gave us the gift of the Holy Ghost to be guided, comforted, and taught. . .
I could go on forever.
He has given us SO. MUCH. HELP.
And yet, it’s not enough for some.
And God weeps in heaven, “What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it?” (2 Nephi 15:4)
God has given us what He can without completely removing the element of faith.
And while some people completely overlook the help…
Are we unintentionally leaving some of His divine help on the table?
Is He looking at us having a terribly frustrating day, hoping that we will open the scriptures that evening so He can send us a message of comfort through His word?
Let’s dive in.
Let’s immerse ourselves in all the resources, help, and support He has provided.
He’s done more than His fair share of His part.
It’s our time to show we can do ours.
Happy Studying!
