Sis Winder. Finding joy in life. 10/87
Do we find ourselves wishing our present experiences could soon be over, as we think we might be happier doing something else?
When we think of the Lord's eternal plan for us, do we really want no difficulty, no struggle, no adversity? For the plan is to prove us herewith, to see if we will do all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall command us.
Joy, it seems, is not only happiness, but the resultant feeling of the Holy Ghost manifest within us.
How can we provide a climate in our lives to foster the presence of the Holy Ghost, that our lives may be more joyful?
-Developing a cheerful disposition wherein the Spirit can dwell.
-Learning the Savior's will for us, that we may know our divine potential.
-Understanding and accepting his atoning sacrifice and repenting of our sins.
-Keeping his commandments and having a firm determination to serve him.
Each is responsible for their own happiness.
How long has it been since you shouted for joy?
