Great blessings in the future

The reward for doing well at following the Savior in this life is going to be quite tremendous.

D.C. 78:

17Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are ^alittle children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;

18And ye cannot ^abear all things now; nevertheless, be of good^bcheer, for I will ^clead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the ^driches of ^eeternity are yours.

19And he who receiveth all things with ^athankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an ^bhundred fold, yea, more.

In addition, we'll have help in actually obtaining those blessings and following the Savior if that's what we desire. Also, important to be grateful. I think it probably keeps us on the good path. Certainly it's not because God needs our gratitude, but because we need our gratitude.

Confessing God's hand in all things seems similar to gratitude (i.e., you give him credit) - here's a verse mentioning the importance of that: D.C. 59:

21And in nothing doth man ^aoffend God, or against none is his^bwrath ^ckindled, save those who ^dconfess not his hand in all things, and ^eobey not his commandments.

Have a good day.
