"Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness." Doctrine and Covenants 58:27
I love this verse. It doesn't just say that we should try to do good in our lives, it says that we should be anxiously engaged in a good cause. God wants us to learn to act for ourselves, and to exercise our agency wisely. This scripture perfectly illustrates it for us--We need to be continuously striving to live good lives, and be enthusiastic about our services. As we exercise our agency by doing things with righteousness, we will be filled with the Spirit and we will ultimately become as gods, knowing good from evil, knowing the results of our actions, and knowing that we can act for ourselves!
Ever smiling,
