A Few Thoughts

  Do you ever have those moments where you feel Heavenly Father's love and you see the plan so much clearer than normal and you just want to shout for joy? Even though things may be rough for you during that time, you still feel this way? I was told once that no matter what you are going through, you can always feel joy as long as you are doing what's right and just trying your hardest to do so. I wish I felt this way all the time, but unfortunately Satan likes to bring us down and discourage us. You may run into this occasionally, or maybe often. Just remember, Heavenly Father is there to help you. Never forget that. Always go to Him for help and comfort. And when in doubt, pray. Prayer is such an important and powerful tool that we can use to connect with our Father in Heaven.
  I read one of my friend's blogs earlier this week and she talked about feeling our Heavenly Father's love. Maybe it's not seeking for comfort, strength, joy, or whatever it may be that you need...but what if you ask to feel His love? Like my friend had said in her blog, He cannot and will never withhold His love. He will always be willing to pour that love out to you. Try it. Ask Him.
  I hope this made sense. Sometimes, when I think about one thing I go off talking about other things too...I think that is what I did here a little bit. But I hope it enlightened you somehow either way.
  But, I pray that each of us will go to Him.
  Even just to talk.
  Pour out your feelings to Him, and He will hear you.
  He is listening.
  And He will always be listening.
  Just never forget these things. Never. For I do know that He is there, and that is my testimony.


Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.” –Alma 37:36-37 (A couple of my favorite scriptures of all time)

Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.” –D&C 123:17

My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
And then, if thou endureth it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands.” –D&C 121:7-9

“..give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss.” –Alma 37:44
