Doctrine and Covenants 6:20

Therefore, treasure up these things words in thy heart be faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments and I will encircle the in the arms of my love.

A small simple word here - AND - is so important.

This scripture doesn't say IF or WHEN  or AFTER you do such and such,  THEN I will show you my love.

What I believe it does say is this: The moment you begin to take this journey - remember I will not (nor can I) force you - but in that moment you begin and you make that choice I am with you. You do not have to do this alone.

I personally know this to be true because He encircled me in those loving arms once when I needed the assurance that He was with me.

However -  and I like to always add this little addendum - God is always there. He is with us always. If He were not always available, why would anyone pray?  Whether we can feel His presence is just a matter or not of where we are in our spiritual life.  Are we open so that we can feel His presence and receive His help?
