D&C 133:57-58 -- On Preparation and Love

"And for this cause, that men might be made partakers of the glories which were to be revealed, the Lord sent forth the fulness of his gospel, his everlasting covenant, reasoning in plainness and simplicity—
To prepare the weak for those things which are coming on the earth, and for the Lord’s errand in the day when the weak shall confound the wise, and the little one become a strong nation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to flight."
Doctrine and Covenants 133:57-58


I like the idea here that God is preparing the weak for what is coming, and that he sent us the gospel basically so that we could be included in all that is to be.  There are also some specific prophecies referred to here that haven't happened yet that he is trying to prepare us for, which is also interesting and cool.

What strikes me the most is the clear feeling that God loves us.  All that he does is for us, and all of this immensity that is God's creation is designed to help us.  Today, let's remember that, and maybe work harder on seeing God's hand in our lives and in the world around us.
