Elder Von G. Keetch said, "As we trust in the Lord, exercise our faith, obey His commandments, and follow the course He has charted for us, we become more the person the Lord wants us to become. It is this 'becoming'—this conversion of the heart—that is all-important."

"Put another way, the Lord’s commands do not constitute some grueling underwater maze of barriers that we must learn to grudgingly endure in this life so that we might be exalted in the next. Rather, the barriers established by the Lord create for us a safe harbor from the evil and destructive influences that would otherwise drag us down to the depths of despair. The Lord’s commandments are given out of love and caring; they are intended for our joy in this life just as much as they are intended for our joy and exaltation in the next. They mark the way that we should act—and more importantly, they illuminate who we should become."

Elder Von G. Keetch, “Blessed and Happy Are Those Who Keep the Commandments of God," Oct. 2015 Ensign

God wants us to have joy. He wants us to have peace. He wants us to succeed.
