Remember the Gift

day 4

 

Yesterday, I had one of the greatest days ever. It wasn't due to any cute boys asking me out or getting 100% of any test.  It was because I was able to see all the good in my life and recognize that all good things come from God. If we can remember that, then our lives will be filled with such joy and happiness.

My heart was so overwhelmed at each moment of the day, I saw good and happy things. I had experiences that made me appreciate the people around me and appreciate myself.

I even had a moment when I was on the phone with my dad when I started to dwell of some negative things in my mind, but with the help of my dad and a sweet text message from my bishop, I let it go and forgot about the heartache that it initially caused me.

When we choose happiness over sorrow, love over hatred, gratitude over whining, it is so much easier to push away the adversary in other parts of our lives. When we choose Christ over everything else, we put ourselves on the path of righteousness walking towards the Savior.


“Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.” —Moroni 10:32

Come unto Jesus from ev’ry nation,

From ev’ry land and isle of the sea.

Unto the high and lowly in station,

Ever he calls, “Come to me.”

 

Come unto Jesus Christ and He will lead us in ways of truth and righteousness and EVERLASTING happiness. (it's the best kind)

 

Remember the gift. Remember the Savior.
