Because I Have Been Given Much

All my thoughts are consumed with gratitude to my Father in heaven. I am SO blessed. I honestly don't know how I got so lucky to be born into my family, and raised with the gospel. I have thought in the past that I wished I was a convert so I could have really found it for myself. I look back and realize how ungrateful that thought is. I want to look back at myself and say "YOU HAVE THE GOSPEL RIGHT NOW is that not good enough?! You have it. You are SO blessed to have it. It is a gift from God stop wasting your time wishing you had found it yourself and embrace the gift that was given to you!!" I am so lucky to not have to be not have to live off of worldly happiness. I am SO lucky to have the relationship I have with God. I am so lucky to been given this life. I am so blessed. I try to think of HOW I got so lucky and I am at a loss for words. I am so blessed. God has given me so very much. I am alive. I woke up this morning, that is a blessing in itself! I know that I am here for a reason. God wouldn't put us on earth if there wasn't a reason for it. I know that it is my obligation to share the gospel. I know they say it is a priesthood obligation to serve a mission but I feel as though it is my personal obligation. I have been given a gift that I can choose to share or not. I am choosing to share it. What will you do with your gift? Will you let your flame dwell in your soul and eventually burn out? Or will you "forever fan the flame of your faith"? I encourage all those who believe in the gospel to start sharing your testimonies. I promise that the more you share, the easier it gets. It is such a blessing to be here in the last days. I am so grateful for my life. God lives. I know it. I love that I know that. I strive to love all that God has given me, because he has given me so much. I am so happy.

I say these things, in the name of my savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
