While
studying the Book of Mormon this week, I came across the scripture Mosiah 7:33
which 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.” I
love the implication that this scripture has for my life and the life of all
the children of God. If we but follow the counsel of this scripture, we too can
be delivered from “bondage”. Our loads can be lightened as we turn our hearts
and will to the Lord. He doesn’t want any of us to suffer and he provides every
opportunity for us to be able to carry our burdens with ease, all he asks is
that we follow Him. Though this does not mean that he will remove our burdens
completely, it does mean that he creates a way for us to be able to overcome
trials and ease our loads. I also came to a more complete realization that this
does not mean he will ease our burdens or deliver us how we would like Him to,
but rather, it will be done according to His will. The Lord knows what is best
for us, and because of that He will fulfill this as He sees it fit.
