Alma 38:14

Alma 38:14 Do not say: O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren; but rather say: O Lord, forgive my worthiness, and remember my brethren in mercy—yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times. When I read this scripture the thought I had was that acknowledging our unworthiness before God at all times doesn't mean we are supposed to go around feeling bad about ourselves, or feeling like we can't live up to what is expected of us. God would not want that, He loves us. It simply means that we must always acknowledge that our best will always fall short of the full qualification for returning to Heavenly Father. But that is okay that is why we have Jesus Christ. We need Jesus Christ, always remember that.

The secret to true happiness

I have a tendency to observe people. I like to learn from others by observation so I don't have to go around making all the mistakes myself. Now don't get me wrong, I make mistakes, but I like to think I've learned a few things along the way from my observations that helped me out, for example; I have been noticing, mostly as I watch television and movies lately that people are very selfish and that their selfishness creates unhappiness. So if selfish people are unhappy, then unselfish people are happy. Unselfishness is the secret to true happiness. Your welcome.
