God is blessing us even though we might not see it or feel it. Sometimes we aren't meant to see the blessings God gives us. But I do believe He desires us to be grateful for all we have. Even if we might not come from much. (Physically or Spiritually)
What makes the Gospel of Jesus Christ so cool is that it allows for each of us to realize that there is more to this life than just money, cars, clothes, and food. The Gospel of Jesus Christ allows for each of us to recognize who we were, what we are doing, and where we are going. Which helps me focus my life on SPIRITUAL things like prayer, obedience, humility, family, and covenants.
I know that temporal things are crucial in spiritual growth. But Spirituality allows each of us to make decisions not just for our personal benefit but for the benefit of the Lord. We are quite literally only servants of the Lord. And I love being His special little soldier right now here in Scottsdale Arizona.
One of our purposes on earth is to put off the natural man, and become perfect, even as Christ is perfect. As hard as it may be, I would encourage you to do something to serve someone around you this week. One of the best ways to forget yourself is in and through the service of others. Now if even half of you on this email list even read to this part of my email and actually do it, that would be about 50 people who will feel Christ's love through your act of service through the week.
God does exist, and we can see Him working through US and our service to others.
I love you all ❤
Sincerely,
Elder Ricks
