The Source

Here's a question to think about! Whether it is subconsciously or consciously, where do you seek your happiness? Are you seeking it from the expensive and luxurious lifestyle? The rowdy and crazy party lifestyle? Or are you searching in the friendly and comfortable atmosphere within in the walls of your own home? Or possibly within the spiritually comforting and peaceful chapel inside of your church?

The reason why I am asking this question is because it is crucial to understand where we are physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually traveling to seek happiness in order to generate and visualize our pursuit.

In my previous post, I expressed that I wanted to share the 'bits and pieces' that I know will bring happiness. Well, 100% of these 'bits and pieces' revolved around one thing. That one thing is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 


You know, I'm not implying that happiness only comes through spirituality. Neither am I implying that immediately, you have to go to church and be a saint. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that the 'bits and pieces' that I've attained come from spirituality. Watch this video.

The title of this post is called "The Source". These people in the video all said that they found what they were looking for when they found Jesus Christ, who was the 'epitome of love'. Why would Jesus Christ be the source of our happiness? Let's take a quick look at his infinite atonement.

Here is Jesus Christ. What he did for us is even more than just die for us. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he suffered all of our pains and sorrows. 

Do you struggle from depression? From emotional pain? Psychological and mental pain? He knows how you feel, because he felt it for you. 

This enables us to turn to him in times of need. This is so important! When we mess up, we don't need to give up, because he already paid the price for it. He just asks that we keep trying. Keep trying to improve and become more like him.
Jesus Christ is the 'epitome of love'. His atonement is the source of our happiness. Everything we do in this life can be revolved around his atonement. He has given this gift to us for free.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
