This is all about following and being a disciple of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is the cornerstone of our faith. He is not just a prophet, He was not just a man, He was and is the Son of God the Father.
HE LIVES!
He is actively aware of every single one of us and wants us both to have joy in this life and the next. What some choose to label restrictions are truly liberating. For example I treat my body as a temple I do not drink, smoke, do illegal drugs and choose to eat healthy, sleep 7-8 hrs a night, exercise and thus it is not a quantity but a quality of life issue. The same goes for spiritual things for every commandment is an eternal law, some call it karma, law of attraction what have you. There is always a consequence for each of our actions in this life. My suggestion to all the world is to make an experiment with God's word and try it, maybe just start small with something simple and basic like say taking time once a day to pray with sincerity...keep in mind Heavenly Father does listen to our prayers and is aware of all our needs yet all we need to do is pray and ask...He will answer there is real power of prayer. Experiment and try each commandment for yourself. I promise it will improve your life.
