"Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late. And some don't come til Heaven. But for those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they come" Jeffrey R. Holland

A really good friend of mine shared this beautiful quote with me and I just had to share.
Something that has been a struggle in life, with many people, including myself, is holding on when things are so tough, you feel as if your hanging by a thread. Or even when there not, but you aren't finding pure happiness and contentment. But the ONLY thing that will keep us going, and the ONLY thing that will bring us undeniable and everlasting happiness, is Christ and his gospel. Just like it states in this quote, blessings WILL come, as we embrace what the Lord has given us here on this earth, which is the gospel. You have to have hope. You have to endure. And you have to walk forward in faith, putting your trust in him, and his word. Doing everything in your power to uphold the commandments of God, the things HE asks of us. Then, and only then, will he grant us with happiness and love in our lives. People... they can always disappoint. Wishes granted... can always fail us or not bring lasting joy. But the one thing that is consistent, everlasting, and full of the greatest blessings and fulfillment in this existence is our Savior. Live through him. Live for him. And choose HIM as your anchor. Nothing in life is worth living for if he isn't the center of it. Don't give up hope in what he promises as we choose to do his will.
