Serve Him With All Your Whole Souls

"I say unto you that is ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another--I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants.
And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you, and prosper you." Mosiah 2:21-22

If I served my creator with all my whole soul I would be unprofitable. I can never repay the debt I have to Him. He supplies me with breath, preserving my life from day to day. When I do as He asks, I am blessed again and remain in His debt. All He requires of me is to keep His commandments and when I do I am blessed again. Remembering my situation helps me to be humble before Him.
