Peace and a Sense of Wholeness

 

So good to talk to you the other day. Did I tell you that you're great? Well, you are! It was great to talk to you. Sorry not homesick.... try again at Christmas) It was very uplifting. It was so good to hear everyone's voice. ! Tell everyone that I love and miss them.

 

I have seen so many miracles on my mission and seen people find peace and a sense of wholeness. The gospel is supposed to do that. When understood and lived you have peace even through the hard stuff. A lot of people focus on guilt to try and make changes in their own lives or others... but not Heavenly Father. He loves us so much and wants us to make good choices for ourselves. That is why He gives us commandments.. He knows they make us happier. That is why He sent His Son to die for us... because He knew we would make mistakes and He provided a way for us to fix them. The greatest motivation is Love and I know that God loves each and every one of you down to the very smallest details of your lives. He wants us to make the choices that we can live with Him again... But He loves us so much that He even lets us choose not to do that but to choose for ourselves what we want. I know that making good choices helps us to be happy. It helps us to be free... it prevents a lot of pain and fear but it also brings so many blessings. I know that the times I have been happiest in my life is when I am doing what I know my Heavenly Father would want me to do. When I am praying and letting Him play an active role in my life. So that is my invitation for everyone. To allow God to really play a part in your life, to increase your spirituality that you may know what He wants for you. I promise that as you allow Him he will make your life so much better than even you can have imagined... and the peace and happiness you will feel will be immeasurable. (2 Nephi 26:24 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
