Men Are That They Might Have Joy

Have Faith To Keep All The Commandments Of God, Knowing That They Are Given To Bless His Children And Bring Them Joy. [you] Will Encounter People Who Pick Which Commandments They Will Keep And Ignore Others That They Choose To Break. I Call This The Cafeteria Approach To Obedience. This Practice Of Picking And Choosing Will Not Work. It Will Lead To Misery. To Prepare To Meet God, One Keeps All Of His Commandments. It Takes Faith To Obey Them, And Keeping His Commandments Will Strengthen That Faith.

No Matter Your Situation, You Can Make Family History A Part Of Your Life Right Now. Primary Children Can Draw A Family Tree. Youth Can Participate In Proxy Baptisms. They Can Also Help The Older Generation Work With Computers. Parents Can Relate Stories Of Their Lives To Their Posterity. Worthy Adult Members Can Hold A Temple Recommend And Perform Temple Ordinances For Their Own Kin.

Obedience Allows God’s Blessings To Flow Without Constraint. He Will Bless His Obedient Children With Freedom From Bondage And Misery. And He Will Bless Them With More Light.

The Savior's Way Of Life Is Good.
