"And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and aprosper those who put their btrust in him."
So I am out on the road this week, in Texas, and took the time to get up early this morning to read some scripture. I came across this verse this morning and it reminded me of the goodness I have received in life. I have so many things that bring me peace and happiness in my life and I believe that is comes in believing there is a God. I believe he is our Father and that he has given a plan, a template, a pattern of living that will give us happiness and peace in our life if we follow it and apply it. The most beautiful part about it is the fact that it is so simple, don't be selfish. Look for others, put their needs first over your own. I am not perfect at this and often have to be reminded, much like a small child I guess in that respect, but I find when I do that I go to bed happy and at peace.
I have read that the peace given those that follow the pattern of selflessness will be blessed with peace, the greatest of all gifts.
