The inspiration for this little video clip came from the writings of Joseph Smith while he was being held unjustly in Liberty Jail. The physical conditions were deplorable, but I imagine the most difficult challenge for Joseph and his companions was knowing that their families and loved ones were suffering beyond imagination. Under the circumstances, they must have felt helpless and could do nothing more than strengthen themselves through prayer and occasionally offer words of encouragement through letters.
Recently as I was studying some of Joseph's words, the following struck a chord of resonances with me and caused me to consider new possibilities about the circumstances in my own life.
"Therefore dearly beloved, we are more ready and willng to lay claim to fellowship and love. For our circumstances are calculated to awaken our spirits to a sacred remembrance of everything, and yours are also."
So I will just ask anyone who is reading this, or who may watch my little video to consider the possiblity that whatever challenges you are currently facing, however difficult your circumstaces may be, no matter how hopeless or helpless you might be feeling...there is a purpose.
Listen to your heart as you ask the question,
"Who Am I?" Why am I here?
The answer will come softly and sweetly as you allow yourself to connect with the source of all love. Your Father in Heaven knows you. He loves you. He sent you here with your own specific set of gifts, talents, and passions. He will help you create the life that you are meant to have, which is a life of joy.
When I look back at every aspect of my life, I am filled with nothing but gratitude because everything I have ever experienced has helped me to be the person I am today. Not a perfect person, but a peaceful person who is full of joy. I am very clear on what my life is all about now. And it feels wonderful to know that I am on task for what my life is all about.
You can too.
