I've been learning a specific thing in my life lately. The other night as I lay in bed with my sweet husband, I opened my scriptures to read Ether 12 which is a book within the Book of Mormon. Within this chapter it discusses Faith. It talks about how faith is things which are hoped for and not seen. As I read a few verses the impression came me that if we have faith we will be happy. That if we could live every day of our lives having Faith, we would always see the good in life and be happy. Even through the trails we may be facing.
We must learn to enjoy now. Because as people we always look forward to the next thing and then miss the moments we have then and then once we hit that next big step, we find joy for a small moment( may be large amounts of joy) but then a trail hits and you either want to go back to what you had or move to the next thing thinking it'll make you happier. Each period of life has large moments of happiness and times of sorrow, sadness, pain, and suffering but I am learning that if we have faith in those hard moments we will find more joy in our lives even when we pass through the battles of life. Each day as we record the good, we will notice that we are blessed and that life is better than it seems.
It is so important to live for the now. To be happy in the moment. To find joy in each moment of each day. Faith is something that if you have it it will help find joy. You will always feel happy when you have faith. Life will go better. You will see the blessings. It will then make you happy and fulfilled. You will succeed in the day to day if you have faith.
LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND HAVE FAITH THAT ALL WILL FALL INTO PLACE
I really like what you said about how faith will help you succeed. It made me think that, if we have faith in our Heavenly Father and our Savior, then we are believing that They are who the scriptures and prophets tell us They are. And if They are who we are told They are, then we are truly sons and daughters of the most supreme being in the universe. And if that's true, then what are we afraid of? We have the confidence and the love of a Father in Heaven who is God of all. Everything. And He believes in us. So why not believe in ourselves?
