Hope, Joy, Peace, Love: Living life through Inspiration

It's true that people become what you encourage them to be, not what you nag them to be. Billy Graham Poems of Faith "To be without hope is like being without goals, what are you working towards? I have sat and wasted many hours wondering, 'Why me? Expect only the best from life and take action to get it. The more we search for meaning in what seems hopeless; we realize that our "hopelessness" is a state of mind, not a reality. Carol Bright, Determined Means Meaningful I do not ask a store of wealth, nor special gift of power; I hope always for strength and health to brave each troubled hour.

Edgar A Guest , Names and Faces Motivational Poems Let us not be uneasy then about the different roads we may pursue, as believing them the shortest, to that our last abode, but following the guidance of a good conscience, let us be happy in the hope that by these different paths we shall all meet in the end. Thomas Jefferson Poems about Life There is always hope for a new day, hope that the darkness won't always seem impenetrable. There is always hope because our Redeemer lives. Marcia Laycock, Celebrate This Day New Beginnings In fact, hope is best gained after defeat and failure, because then inner strength and toughness is produced.

Fritz Knapp, Vince Lombardi: Toughness Failure "Do not forget to hope and happy be. Lewis Thanksgiving No matter where we are in our walk of life, the resurrection is still to come. This should give us hope for tomorrow. But, don't leave off hoping, or it's of no use doing anything. Hope, hope to the last! Throughout life you will be rewarded from the efforts you expend to choose correctly. Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character.

Only you can do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. At this critical time of life, you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity.

Make them wisely and prayerfully. There are two patterns for making decisions in life: Satan encourages choices to be made according to the circumstances: What are others doing? What seems to be socially or politically acceptable? What will bring the quickest, most satisfying response?

That pattern gives Lucifer the broadest opportunity to tempt an individual to make decisions that will be harmful and destructive even though they may appear most appealing when a decision is made. With this approach there is no underlying set of values or standards to consistently guide decisions.

Each decision is made for what appears to be the most attractive choice at the moment. One who chooses this path cannot expect the help of the Lord but is left to his or her own strength and that of others who want to help.

That is why the world is in such turmoil. The pattern of the Lord is for His children to make decisions based upon eternal truth. This requires that your life continue to be centered in the commandments of God.

Thus, decisions are made in accordance with unchanging truths aided by prayer and the guidance of the Holy Ghost. In addition to your own strength and capacity, you will enjoy divine inspiration and power when needed. Your actions will be predictable and bless the lives of all in the circle of your influence. You will have a meaningful life of purpose, peace, and happiness. There is no guarantee that life will be easy for anyone. We grow and learn more rapidly by facing and overcoming challenges. You are here to prove yourself, to develop, and to overcome.

There will be constant challenges that cause you to think, to make proper judgments, and to act righteously. You will grow from them. However, there are some challenges you never need to encounter. They are those associated with serious transgression. As you continue to avoid such tragedy, your life will be simpler and happier. Thank your Father in Heaven that your pattern of life is different and that you have been helped to make choices guided by the Holy Ghost.

That prompting will keep you on the right path. The gospel teaches us to make decisions based upon eternal truth. Please never allow yourself to make an exception to that pattern of life to gain a temporary, appealing advantage or to participate in an experience you know to be unworthy. I have seen so many young couples and individuals fumble the ball of life because they look to the wrong sources for how to live. They become distracted from true principles by being tempted to compromise just a little bit to gain influence, position, or acceptability.

They justify those deviations, rationalizing that later a greater good could be accomplished. In the long run that pattern of life will take you where you definitely do not want to be. How can you keep your resolve to live worthily?

James 1:2-3

How can you be sure that determination in your heart will not be eroded by the pressures around you? If you are blessed to be married, rejoice in that companionship with your spouse and your children. Let there be absolutely no secrets kept from each other. That will provide powerful insurance for continuing righteousness and happiness. Keep the gospel light burning brightly in your home through scripture study, prayer, and the other things you know how to do. Honor and live temple covenants as you receive them. Drink deeply from the fountain of the revealed word of God. Hold fast to His word.

Keep the Sabbath day holy. In short, continue to do what you know you should do. Wherever you go, stay tightly connected to the Church and consistently serve in it. While single, keep these same objectives as they apply. As an exceptional son or daughter of God, you are sorely needed. There is an urgent need for more men and women like you who will stand for principles against the growing pressures to compromise those very principles. Men and women are needed who will act nobly and courageously for what the Lord has defined as right—not for what is politically correct or socially acceptable.

We need individuals who have the spiritual, righteous influence that will motivate others to live honorably. We need statesmen with integrity, businessmen who are honest and morally clean, attorneys who defend justice and the legal system, and government officials who preserve principle because it is right.

Above all, we need mothers and fathers who will preserve the sanctity and safety of the home and the integrity of the family in which faith in God and obedience to His commandments are taught as the foundation of a productive life. You can be an essential part of that shining light, that righteous influence to increase the moral fiber of your nation and its homes.

Many of your friends live their life for the moment. They do not understand the need for principles, eternal laws, and truth. Show them a better life—a better way.

Psalm 47:1

There are some things that are wrong because God decreed they are wrong. The trouble is they are not aware they can get it. John Lennon Inspirational Sayings "When it comes to experiencing peace, we can't cram it in at the last minute; we need to build a foundation for it by giving God's Word a central place in our lives.

Edgar A Guest , Our Country Inspirational Poems "I have learned that there is much peace to be found in accepting that a Higher Power with greater plans for our lives than we can ever fathom. We owe it to ourselves and to them to clear up things. But if you do write, then write that letter upon your knees, as it were. Don't give them a piece of your mind - you will lose your own peace of mind if you do! Stanley Jones Anger "In order for there to be peace it may mean that a person needs to apologize for a wrong spirit, or attitude.
