"Stand Forever" Ep. 11 The Way—Happiness and Joy Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

Are happiness and joy the ultimate objective? Some scriptural and prophetic statements suggest happiness and joy are an important part of the destination, if not the whole of it. Consequently, they must be considered in any discussion about the destination you were born to reach. But let’s consider what the Lord has said about both happiness and joy. If you gather every scripture that speaks to happiness and distill the essence of each, you’ll find that happiness is known by those who trust in the Lord, acquire understanding, keep God´s commandments, face adversity, serve others, help the poor and needy, desire good, and never give up or give in. If you think a bit about that scriptural summary, you will see happiness is not exclusive to active contributing members of the Church. There is nothing in that description that says that. Joy, however, is another matter. View the transcript:
