"I find joy in knowing who I am, that I am a beloved daughter of God... the creator of all things and he knows me personally."
I know that the knowledge of who I am and who I can become has brought so much meaning to my life. With it comes a Joy that can be found nowhere else. Knowing I can change and that each day God helps me to be better, that He is moulding me into more than I could ever be on my own. That he has a great work and purpose for me!! As I allow him to help me be more patient, loving and strong, my ability to help others also grows. As a missionary, I get to bring this knowledge into others lives. I get to experience a small amount of the love he has for them. There is nothing quite like seeing someone experience the same JOY I have found in God.
I know that the Joy we all seek comes from God, from His son Jesus Christ and allowing them into our lives. As we ourselves emulate His light and experience this Joy we have a greater chance to help others along the way.
Alma 26: 11
"But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God."
