Dear Reader,
Today we discussed the civil rights movement in a class. Yesterday I talked with a good friend about Gay marriage. Last week we saw lots of people in each other's faces yelling about their disagreements. Things like this constantly happen.
Me? I'm as happy as can be. Why? Because I know some things that not everyone knows. Well, maybe they know, but they don't understand. Now, I don't know everything. But knowing these few things helps me solve a lot of problems.
1. God lives. What He does or how He does it, I have no idea. I learn a lot about it, but those facts learned don't scratch the surface of how much He does or how much He knows.
2. We are all His Children. No matter who you are, no matter what you do and no matter what people see you as, you are a child of God. He wants us to be happy. He also wants us to learn and become better. We can say that our perfection is His goal.
3. We have a system to be able to love each other, despite differences. It is called the Gospel. Actually, I think "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" sums up almost all we need to know to understand the basic principles of the Gospel.
4. Jesus Christ performed the Atonement for each of us. I don't know exactly how the Atonement works, but I know it is through the Atonement that we become better and we feel the Love that God has for us.
What problems do we have? Lots of them. However, our Heavenly Father knows how to solve all of them. We just need to listen to Him. Easier said that done, I know. But it is possible.
