JOY

“Sadness, disappointment, and severe challenge are events 

in life, not life itself. I do not minimize how hard some of 

these events are. They can extend over a long period of 

time, but they should not be allowed to become the 

confining center of everything you do. The Lord inspired 

Lehi to declare the fundamental truth, “Men are, that they 

might have joy.” That is a conditional statement: “they might 

have joy.” It is not conditional for the Lord. His intent is that 

each of us finds joy. It will not be conditional for you as you 

obey the commandments, have faith in the Master, and do 

the things that are necessary to have joy here on earth.” 


― Richard G. Scott
