My favorite clump of scriptures at this time in my life

I was issued a Facebook challenge by Kiersten, who reads her scriptures consistently every day, to share my favorite scripture.

She hasn't missed a day since she went to EFY at the beginning of June; she is surely an example to me of what I should be doing more often.

Anyway, choosing a favorite scripture is a hard thing to do. So many speak to me at different times.

The other morning during our family scripture time, we were reading D&C 31. It starts out with "Thomas, my son" but as I have learned to liken all scriptures to me, I inserted my own name "Missy, my daughter, blessed are you because of your faith in my work."As we read the rest of the section, I had a powerful feeling of love and approval come over me as the Lord spoke to me in that section. I received a tender mercy of love that morning. I know God lives and loves me as my own earthly father loves me.

The world may say there is no God, but I say otherwise. I cannot deny the miracles, the blessings that have come into my life because of a loving, kind Father in Heaven who showers me with tender mercies every day. I know he understands me intimately. I know he wants nothing more than for me to be HAPPY. And you know what? I am so happy with my life.

There is no greater feeling of joy than knowing your life is pleasing to your earthly parents as well as your heavenly parents.

Life is good!
