"And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.
And if their works are evil they shall be restored unto them for evil. Therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order, every thing to its natural frame—mortality raised to immortality, corruption to incorruption—raised to endless happiness to inherit the kingdom of God, or to endless misery to inherit the kingdom of the devil, the one on one hand, the other on the other—"
Alma 41:3-4
I think that it is interesting how the whole restoration thing works. Basically, we get back what we put into life. If we put in good, then we get back good. If we put in bad, then we get back bad. It makes me think about what I am putting in, and how the balance in tipped in my life. I know that there are some things that I have thought, felt, and done in life that I certainly wouldn't want restored to me. Maybe contemplating the whole restoration thing will help us to be more aware of what we are contributing to the context. If we promote happiness and peace, then we'll get those things restored to us... and that sounds like an excellent reward to me. :)
