"And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow."
Alma 40:12
That phrase "rest from all their troubles" is amazing--especially the "all" part. I love the idea that we don't have to carry any stress beyond the grave. :) It's hard to imagine not having any troubles or sorrow at all, but definitely something worth experiencing. :)
I'm not trying to say that death is nothing, or that it doesn't impact our current lives in real ways. ... It is good, though, to know that the life beyond this is a better place where we will have a peace beyond what can be experienced here.
Today, let's work on living our lives in God's way so that we can return to him after this life, and experience that zero-trouble future of happiness, peace, and rest that God has prepared for all of us.
