Seeking First the Kingdom of God.

Sorry it has been so long! I'm still pretty busy. The one thing that I have learned recently, heard a lot, and challenge you to test for yourself as I have, is to Seek First the Kingdom of God. If we do so, we are promised that all of our earthly capacities will increase. (Matthew 6:33 - "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.") That is a great promise. This promise can include any aspect of your life. Whether it be physical, mental, emotional, social or spiritual; "...all these things shall be added unto you." We need to have a strong faith in this promise. Our Heavenly Father wants the best for us and sometimes that means putting us through trials that we don't like. But it is for the best and it will make us even stronger than we could ever imagine. We must have the patience when we ask for things. The Lord may give us those blessings instantly when we seek for His Kingdom, but we may have to wait a little. We need to have a close and personal relationship with our Heavenly Father through daily prayer and scripture study. If we do so, the Lord will teach us and reveal important things unto us that we need at that particualr moment in our lives. I would hope that all of you would apply this in your life because from my personal experience of doing so, it has made my life much more rewarding, happy, and enjoyable. I love this Church and I have NO clue what I would do without it. I would be totally lost. I know that the Book of Mormon is the most true book upon the Earth and "if you pray with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ that the truth will be manifested unto you." I know that families can be together forever, and that God has a plan for us. I know that Joseph Smith did restore The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints upon the earth. And I say that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
