This is put so well. The gospel is simple and it really does become a joy. We have to stop fighting God's power and let go, trust Him, and let our will align with His, and we find joy!

Love the concept of turning gospel living into a joy!! ❤

Wow this is great and is so true. Even with work and your job, “if you allow it into your heart” it becomes a joy. I too have turned my life to the gospel and I have been so much more at peace, the pure truth that is there is amazing and I keep finding nuggets to open my eyes further. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for sharing this concept as I have Grandchildren who need to hear this

Love this concept! ❤️

That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Wow.... There was something's in this video that I really needed. Thank you!

Reminds me of Mosiah 24 verse 15. A burden can become a joy through our willingness to submit to the Lord and trust His word and His timing.

Awesome again!!!!!!

I think this (the converting from something you have to do to something you want to do) is 100% essential to become like Christ! That being said, I think you still need to start somewhere. By going through the motions, or even doing it for cultural reasons is equivalent to “wanting to believe” or “exercising a particle of faith”. You are better off being there for cultural reasons then being off in wicked places, because you are in the right place to have a change of heart. “He that doeth the will of the Father will know of the doctrine” or “commit thine acts and thy thoughts shall follow”

Absolutely! I mention this in the full interview that we usually start out first going through motions and as the principles become second nature they become engrained into who we are and we begin to find joy ❤️

An interesting topic to study the scriptures on would be how to educate our desires such that they progress to being in alignment with the will of God. I think Elder Maxwell talks about "educating our desires". What is our reason for living the gospel? Is it out of Love, duty, or fear? In President Oaks' words good, better, best.

“Act in doctrine” by David A Bednar is a good book

This was something I needed to hear, thanks!

💯💯

Awesome intro

"Some Christians carry their religion on their backs. It is a packet of beliefs and practices which they must bear. At times it grows heavy and they would willingly lay it down, but that would mean a break with old traditions, so they shoulder it again. But real Christians do not carry their religion, their religion carries them. It is not weight, it is wings. It lifts them up, it sees them over hard places. It makes the universe seem friendly, life purposeful, hope real, sacrifice worthwhile. It sets them free from fear, futility, discouragement, and sin - the great enslaver of men's souls. You can know a real Christian when you see him, by his bouyancy." Harry Emerson Fosdick Twelve Tests of Character (1923);
