The Doctrine & Covenants is scripture that counsels us repeatedly to "be of good cheer." We also know that this book is the handbook (or playback if you will) for the building up of Zion. Our theme in our ward's women's organization, Relief Society, is "Finding Joy." This theme is beautifully interwoven in the fabric of "being of good cheer."
With the adversity and challenges before us, I have been seeking to understand this principle more deeply.
I am convinced that being of good cheer rides upon the shoulders of hope and faith. I am understanding the need for being cheerful as a skill needed to establish and build up Zion...G-d's city.
If our counsel is to be of good cheer, than what does this reveal about our Savior and His city of Zion?
I am grateful for opposition and the challenges that spur me on to turn to my Savior for guidance, understanding and assistance. I am grateful for the love and encouragement I receive daily. I am grateful for the many resources available to us, to help us in mortality. I am grateful for the understanding that we can "be of good cheer" and find joy amidst tribulation.
Thank you to those who exemplify this principle and bring so much joy and beauty into my life. I love you. I am grateful for your positive influence in my life.
