Mosiah 1-5

"My immortal spirit may join the choirs above in singing the praises of a just God." -Mosiah 2:28

This verse is so interesting to me because I am fascinated by the idea of choirs of angels. Music has been included in many of the major events of the world, including the birth of the savior. D&C 25 says that "The song of the righteous is a prayer unto me." I believe that God loves music. Music brings such a wonderful feeling of peace that I really enjoy. I hope that someday I will be included with the choirs of angels. I can't imagine a more wonderful position to be in.

"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it." -Mosiah 2:41

This is definitely my one of my favorite scriptures. I just love the idea that the gospel is here to make us happy and that we have a Father in Heaven whose only desire is that we return to him and that we find happiness. I have had a long history with depression and having a hard time finding joy in every day things. I need to focus more on my savior, because he wants me to be happy and because he knows exactly what I am going through.
