2 Ne 26:

V 10. "...and they sell themselves for naught; for, for 

the reward of their pride and their 

foolishness they shall reap destruction..."

Nothing is worth it unless it's God's.  Anything else leads to destruction, aka: suffering, misery, etc.

11.  "For the Spirit of the Lord will 

not always strive with man.  And 

when the Spirit ceaseth to strive

with man then cometh speedy 

destruction, and this grieveth my soul."

The Spirit doesn't make us do or feel anything.  It is our choice to be worthy of the presence of the Spirit.  When we choose not to have it with us, we don't live like we were meant to.  We don't have time not to have it; we have too much to do.  Make the choice to become who you were meant to be, who you want to be.

13.  "And that he manifesteth himself

unto all those who believe in him,

by the power of the Holy Ghost...

according to their faith."

He wants us to know him.  We know Him through the Spirit, which we must live worthily to have with us.  The Spirit gives us knowledge of him through our faith, which makes all of this possible.

15.  "... and all those who have  

dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten."

Mercy.  Comfort makes no demand for perfection.

28.  "Behold, hath the Lord 

commanded any that they should not

partake of his goodness?  Behold, I

say unto you, Nay; but all men are

privileged the one like unto the other,

and none are forbidden."

Again, He invites us to know Him.  No person is exempt from the love of God.

31.  "But the laborer in Zion shall 

labor for Zion; for if they labor for

money they shall perish."

Work because you love God.  Working for anything else leads to disappointment.

33.  "For none of these iniquities 

come of the Lord; for he doeth that

which is good among the children of

men; and he doeth nothing save it

be plain unto the children of men;

and he inviteth them all to come

unto him and partake of his good-

ness; and he denieth none that come

unto him, black and white, bond

and free, male and female; and he

remembereth the heathen; and all

are alike unto God, both Jew and

Gentile."

The loving nature of our Father.  It really isn't such a mystery.
