mosiah 4: 4 - 15

how does remembering God's power, goodness, and love influence our willingness to obey Him? 

--> to me, these things give a sense of humility.  i owe everything i am or ever will be to my Heavenly Father.  He is daily shaping my life into what He needs it to be.  He is giving me experiences to help me overcome what i need to overcome and develop into the disciple that i am destined to be.  understanding who i am and where i came from and how i am related to God - that He is literally my Father - helps me have a greater desire to obey whatever it is He asks me to do. 

brigham young once said, "mormonism' has made me all i am; and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that i ever will be, either in time or in eternity."  ... when we understand the depth of that thought, obeying God becomes a joy, not a burden.
