Forgive me for not having a message today. I convinced myself that because I put out two lessons in a week, I didn't need to do one this week. However, I felt a little guilty about not having one out at all. So I decided that I'll give a little thought and then talk about it. Next week, I'll have something about the importance of Fast Sunday and then things will return to normal.

Anyways, here's the thought.

"God wants us to have joy. He wants us to have peace. He wants us to succeed."

Sometimes, there are a lot of things that can be said with a single sentence. There is an astonishing amount of proof that Heavenly Father truly loves us. He gave us life here on Earth. A blessing in disguise, but a blessing none the less. The greatest amount of truth is that he included a Savior in His plan. He was willing to give us His Son, who was willing to die for us. That, to me, is the greatest thing ever. Beats any gift that I've been given.
