Recently, I have had many days when it is hard to keep positive. There is so much negativity in the world, it is easy to get caught up in it. Every time these days happen, I always reflect back to these scriptures:
Alma 57:27
Mormon 5:14
1 Nephi 13:37
D&C 4:7
2 Nephi 31:20
3 Nephi 9:14-15
3 Nephi 12:3-12, 16
I encourage you to read those, if you are ever loosing confidence, or have a lack of positivity.
But one scripture that I can get help from, no matter what the situation, is D&C 68:6. It reads,
"Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come."
I love that scripture, and the truthfulness that it brings. If you ever have any doubts, or any fears, just know that The Lord will always be with you. He loves you, and there is not a single moment of any day where He is not watching over you.
Choose kindness. Choose happiness. Choose positivity.
Just take a moment and realize how blessed we all are. Throughout our crazy, busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in things that don't really matter. But if you just look around, the smallest things can be the biggest tender mercies. This world really is amazing.
Life is so happy. I challenge all of you to share happiness to someone today. Write them a letter, telling them how you appreciate them, give someone a compliment, smile at someone. You never know what they could be going through, and one little smile could change their day. You are one of a kind. You are strong, brave, and an amazing Child of God. Joy is one of the easiest things to have, so share a simple little joy.
