Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010

Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

In any given moment there are more needs than anyone person can possibly address. The issue is how to make the choice. Who ...read more
