God’s light is always there

The sun will always rise each morning and the sun is always shining even when we do not see it.  Look up to see His Son, the light of the world. Our Heavenly Father is always there even when we are in darkness. Even the smallest light drives away darkness. The day will come when all darkness will be destroyed and only the pure light of Christ will remain. 

Be faithful

 And it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren, saying: Let us go up again unto Jerusalem, and let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord; for behold he is mightier than all the earth, then why not mightier than Laban and his fifty, yea, or even than his tens of thousands? 

Therefore let us go up; let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of captivity, on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

Now behold ye know that this is true; and ye also know that an angel hath spoken unto you; wherefore can ye doubt? Let us go up; the Lord is able to deliver us, even as our fathers, and to destroy Laban, even as the Egyptians. -Book of Mormon prophet Nephi to his brothers. 

Joy!

I have decided that I will work towards seeking for joy instead of just happiness.  Why, do you ask?  Happiness is temporary, although a good thing, but it can be fleeting.  Joy, on the other hand, is eternal if we choose to truly seek it.  I have known many people who, in the midst of very difficult trials, have found joy because of their belief in God and His Son Jesus Christ.  "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." (2 Ne 2:25)  Galatians 5:22 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith." I must look for joy, strive to practice the pure love of Christ, which is charity, each day and with everyone.  

Joy is something one can find

If they've chosen to be kind

We must look up to heavenly light

To seek for joy and do what's right
