Emotions - FB Post 1/31/2024

 Emotions, we all have them. We feel angry at other people, sad when friends have to go, happy when things go the way we want, frustrated with our problems, relaxed when we get a chance, silly when we're comfortable, all sorts of emotions all at different times. All throughout our lives. And every single one of those feelings, God created us to have. All of them. Because here's the thing, we need to feel all of these things because it's for our good. And guess what? You're not alone in feeling these things, going through both the hard and the easy, the bad and the good.

Jesus Christ felt all of these things for YOU! That's right, YOU! And because He's felt this and knows what it feels like, Your loving Heavenly Father does too. They are there for you, always. Even when we think that they're not, they are. I promise.

Doctrine and Covenants 136:22, 28-31

22 I am he who led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; and my arm is stretched out in the last days, to save my people Israel.

28 If thou art merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.

29 If thou art sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful.

30 Fear not thine enemies, for they are in mine hands and I will do my pleasure with them.

31 My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom.

They are always there. Trust me, I know. I recently went through a hard time, and I know that Heavenly Father put people in my path to help show me the way, and help me remember that they know and are always there.

How has Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ helped you through a hard time?
