"And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and he did bring glad tidings to my soul. And behold, I was sent unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad tidings; but behold ye would not receive me."
Helaman 13:7
I like the idea here that Samuel the Lamanite was preaching because he wanted other people to have the same glad tidings that he did, that brought his soul joy. Useful to keep in mind, I think, because so often our motivations can get crowded with other things. Today, let's turn back to the simple joy that the gospel brings, and let God show us the happiness that he has in store for us, even though we do go through tough trials at the moment. Let's be thankful for what we have rather than upset at what we don't have, and at least for today, enjoy some glad tidings.
