Be of Good Cheer

"Lift up your head and be of good cheer..." 3 Nephi 1:13
"Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you..." D&C 68:6
"...In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" John 16:33
"...be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." Matthew 9:2


"Be of Good Cheer". What a beautiful phrase of comfort, hope, peace, forgiveness and love! This gospel truly is about being of good cheer. In 2 Nephi 2:25 it tells us: "men are that they might have joy". Our Heavenly Father created us and sent us here to earth so that we could have joy! This shows me how loving He truly is. That joy and love is exactly why I decided to serve a mission. Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ has brought so much joy into my life. Everyone deserves that opportunity! Everyone should "taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste" (Alma 36:24) by realizing that they do have a Heavenly Father who loves them and a Savior who atoned for their sins. By realizing that true happiness CAN be achieved through Them. This message that I have to share is a message of JOY and of good CHEER and I want all the world to hear it. In this blog I would like to share this good cheer with all that I can, and cause you to realize the good cheer in your own life.
