"...there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people." (4 Nephi 1:15)
Wow! What would it take for people to feel the love of God so much that there was not contention today? I feel like there is so much wickedness that it would be very hard to accomplish. 
Then it says in verse 16, "surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God " I wanna be that happy. 
For starters... you. You are here and you are alive in one of the most opportunistic periods in all of history.:
Then in Mormon they are at war again, with unbelief, wickedness and doing basically what they want to do. It makes me think of the world today with gay marriage, abortions, and so many other wicked wrong things that Satan is making to look good or okay at least. It makes me sick to think what's next. What could possibly happen now? How bad does it have to get before Christ will come again and save us? Nobody knows but we must be ready. What are we doing to be ready for that day? I don't think we are doing nearly enough even if we think we are living our lives the best we can and know how there is always something to improve on and become better at. 

Blessing: God shows us His love in so many ways even when we don't deserv it.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
