The Miracle That is You!

So I was studying last night about miracles. One cool thing I got out of it is that we are all a miracle. Life is a miracle. It is a great blessing from God. How we got here we really don't fully understand. Plus this life isn't it we still have the life to come after we are resurrected, which is a miracle.

Our life here on Earth and our future in the eternities all relies on what we do. God has given us the freedom to choose for ourselves. Based on our choices we can have eternal life in the presence of God or to be cast out of God's presence for eternity. Our choices in this life affect how we see and feel about things. We can choice to be positive and look on the bright side of things as we do we will find joy, our faith will grow, and people will enjoy being around us. We could be negative and cause ourselves greater stress, doubt the things that can be accomplished causing our faith to be weakened, and run all of our loved ones away by being such a grouch.

We also have the ability to seek after things of God. In opposition to that we can seek after things of the world. As we seek after things of the world them will bring us momentary happiness, gratify our pride, and make us feel good about ourselves. But as we seek after things of God that is when true joy comes to us all. We must choose to follow God. As we do so times might be hard but the things of God will bring us everlasting joy. One thing that comes to my mind is families. Our families are a blessing from God. At times they might cause us pain and suffering. They might cause us to stress and worry, but in the long run they fill us with joy and love. A joy and love that can last for all eternity if we live the commandments of God and follow his teachings.

I do know that we have the freedom to choose but we don't have to walk the path alone. If we are choosing the right Jesus Christ will be with us to strengthen us and support us in our endeavors. I know that God loves us and so does our savior Jesus Christ. I know that our families our ordained of God and that if we follow God's teachings and live right we can dwell with our families, Jesus Christ, and our Heavenly Father for all Eternity.
