Russell M. Nelson taught: Lift Up Your Head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfill all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.~ 3 Nephi 1:13
Life is filled with detours and dead ends, trials and challenges of every kind. Each of us has likely had times when distress, anguish and despair almost consumed us. Yet, are we here to have joy?
Yes! The answer is a resounding yes! . . . Saints can be happy under any circumstances. We can feel joy even while we are having a bad day, bad week, or even a bad year! . . .
The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. ~Russell M. Nelson, (Prophet, Seer, Revelator and President of the Church o Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
