“We always must be on guard against a pride-induced and exaggerated sense of self-importance, a misguided evaluation of our own self-sufficiency, and seeking self instead of serving others.” – @BednarDavidA | #GeneralConference

“May I suggest that if you or I believe we are sufficiently strong and stalwart to avoid the arrogance of pride, then perhaps we already are suffering from this deadly spiritual disease.” – @BednarDavidA | #GeneralConference

[Dieter F. Uchtdorf @UchtdorfDF]

It probably goes without saying that everyone wants to be happy. Nevertheless, it also goes without saying that not everyone is happy. Sadly, it seems that, for many people, happiness is hard to find.
 
Why is that? If happiness is the one thing we humans desire most, why are we so unsuccessful at finding it? To paraphrase a country song, maybe we’ve been looking for joy in all the wrong places.

Life is not an endless sequence of emotional highs. Feeling sad is not a sign of failure. In this life, at least, joy and sorrow are inseparable companions. Like all of you, I have felt my share of disappointment, sorrow, sadness, and remorse.

However, I have also experienced for myself the glorious dawn that fills the soul with joy so profound that it can scarcely be kept in. I have discovered for myself that this peaceful confidence comes from following the Savior and walking in His way.

The peace He gives us is not like what the world gives. It’s better. It’s higher and holier. Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

The gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the good news of great joy! It is a message of matchless hope! It is a message of yoke bearing and burden lifting, of light gathering, of heavenly favor, higher understanding, eternal security, and everlasting glory! #GeneralConference

When Christ comes, He needs to recognize us not as nominal members but as thoroughly committed disciples. That is one of the lessons I have learned repeatedly this past year. #GeneralConference

I’ll go out on a limb and say I believe we’ve just heard from one who has seen beyond the veil and communed with angels. Imagine how much God must love us to let this man come back from His presence and testify so clearly one more time. #GeneralConference
