“Remember that men are that they might have joy. With all
that Lehi faced, he still found joy. Remember when Alma was weighed down with
sorrow because of the people of Ammonihah? The angel told him, ‘Blessed art
thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast been
faithful in keeping the commandments of God.’ Alma learned a great truth: we
can always rejoice when we keep the commandments. Remember that during the wars
and challenges faced during the time of Captain Moroni, there never was a
happier time among the people of Nephi. We can and should find joy when we face
hard things. Jesus Christ suffered the Atonement. As a result, He says to each
one of us, ‘In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I
have overcome the world.’ Because of Christ, we too can overcome the world.” – M.
