When we obey God, He gives us all that He has.
God is Light, and he gives us light.
God is Paradise, and He gives us paradise. God is forgiveness, and He gives us forgiveness.
God is Life, and He gives us life.
God is eternal bliss, and He grants us eternal bliss—completely free.
Why should we fail to acquire all these good things? Why make ourselves miserable?
Nothing other than a little enlightenment and a small amount of effort to change our way of life is required to enter the highway that ends at the Golden Gate of the Heavenly Kingdom. The Kingdom of Heaven is the heart of Christ. If our soul acquires the characteristics of the Heavenly Father, then as a child of God, it will freely enter into the heart of God, into a vast, endless, and inexpressible blessedness.
Elder Ephraim of Arizona
