Have you ever felt like you didn't deserve happiness? Like everyone around you is entitled to happiness except you? Well that is a vicious, destructive lie! If our bodies are really temples shouldn't we treat our insides or how we feel about ourselves just as important as our outsides? I think that everyone at some point or another feels this way. I know that lately I've felt very much this way; that I just don't deserve happiness because others don't want me to be happy. I like the analogy of our bodies being temples. For those of you who don't know what a temple is it is a house of the Lord where sacred ordinances are performed. These ordinances allow the Lord's work to continue for the living as well as the deceased. Something that is very interesting about temples is it is treated with the highest respect. If you look at any temple you will see how clean it is. The inside of a temple is clean as well. Why? Because they know that the work that takes place inside is sacred. They know the value and worth of a temple. We are glorious beings who are capable of so much. We are all worth something. We are all beautiful. Sometimes it's difficult to see that past whatever may be going on at the time. Nevertheless it's true.
Everyday I learn something new. It may be something small but everyday I learn.
