| In 2 Nephi 2:25 we are taught, “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.” At times, it can be easy to get caught up in what the world says will bring us happiness. |
|
| President Russell M. Nelson expressed, “Here is the grand truth: while the world insists that power, possessions, popularity, and pleasures of the flesh bring happiness, they do not! They cannot! What they do produce is nothing but a hollow substitute for ‘the blessed and happy state of those [who] keep the commandments of God’ [Mosiah 2:41].”1 |
|
| Elder D. Todd Christofferson shares ways we can find enduring happiness.2 |
|
|
“Lasting joy is found in keeping the commandments of God, and the commandments of God are found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.” |
|
|
|
“We can find… joy as we love others with ‘the pure love of Christ’ (Moroni 7:47), share restored truth with them, and invite them to gather with the covenant people.” |
|
|
|
“We should not be afraid that the trials and challenges we inevitably face in mortality will prevent or destroy our joy.” |
|
|
| What is one thing that brings you true happiness? |
