INTERDEPENDENCE --  Independence, self-reliance, and rugged individualism are long-standing positive virtues in our society; clearly better than attitudes of dependency.  But interdependence is a yet higher principle.  Even our relationship with God is interdependent.  Without his power and love, we wouldn't even be here.  Without his guidance, love, and redemption we would have no chance of achieving the blessings of Salvation, much less, Exaltation.  

         He has no less-clearly stated that, at least a portion of,  his own glory depends on our achieving that goal.  God has nowhere else -- that we know of -- to look to for his joy and success except to his creations.  That includes us!  “This is my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”  (Moses 1:39)
