Our birthright-and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth-is to seek and experience eternal happiness. Let me repeat: how you react to adversity and temptation is a critical factor in whether or not you arrive at your own “happily ever after.” ( Your Happily Ever After) ( Forget Me Not)Įnduring adversity is not the only thing you must do to experience a happy life. My dear sisters, seek out the majesty, the beauty, and the exhilarating joy of the “why” of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us not walk unaware of the beauty of the glorious earthly and spiritual landscapes that surround us. Let us not walk the path of discipleship with our eyes on the ground, thinking only of the tasks and obligations before us. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it.
Let us find the joy of serving in the priesthood! ( The Joy of the Priesthood)īrothers and sisters, no matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. Let us constantly increase in righteousness, dedication, and priesthood service. Let us accept and love the responsibilities we are asked to fulfill-responsibilities in our homes and in our Church units, no matter how large or small they may be. Let us embrace and understand the wonder and privilege of the priesthood. And sure enough, the world will become brighter. He created us to have joy! So if we trust Him, He will help us to notice the good, bright, hopeful things of life. I testify that by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, you can learn this for yourself. I have learned for myself that the path of discipleship in the gospel of Jesus Christ is the way to joy.
