"My Work and My Glory"

"For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:39) Everything that God does is to help us return to live in His presence with our families for eternity.
In Doctrine and Covenants 88:67, the Lord tells us that, "...if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you..."
What does it mean to have our eyes single to the glory of God?
In a conversation with someone the other evening they brought up these scriptures and pointed out that, if God's entire work and GLORY is to bring us back to live in His presence, then if our eye is single to His GLORY, everything we do will be in accordance with that purpose. Everything we do will be to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man.
That is also known as missionary work.
Missionary work can take many forms from talking to people about the Gospel to being "an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)
As we work to strengthen those around us without desire for our own glory or admiration, the Lord's purpose is being fulfilled and many people are being brought to "taste of the exceeding joy" which comes from learning and then living in accordance with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Alma 36:24)
"And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!" (Doctrine and Covenants 18:13,15)
God rejoices in the repentance and return of one person, one of His children! Just like the 99 sheep that were left so the shepherd could go and find the lost one, the Lord seeks out His children, one by one. (Luke 15)
"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." (Doctrine and Covenants 18:10)
A favorite song of mine says, "He notices it all: the sparrow when it falls...He heals one by one, loves one by one. And when the crowded world around you doesn't know your name, He loves us one by one." (One by One)
When He says that His entire work and glory is to bring us back to live with Him again, He is speaking to us individually. He knows my name. He knows your name. He knows my weaknesses and my strengths. He knows yours. And He will do everything that He can to give us the opportunities that we need in order to repent, change, and return to live with Him.
