Mosiah 2:20 He has caused that we should rejoice! He provides us with opportunities and reasons to rejoice. He doesn't force us. He gives us many causes to rejoice, but we have to choose to open our eyes and see them. We have to cherish our relationships with our loved ones. We have to realize our blessings. We have to look around and see the beauty He has surrounded us with.
A recent talk that was part of Music and the Spoken Word really touched my heart. A quote from that broadcast: Indeed, the world offers us daily moments of beauty that can enrich our lives—if we open our eyes and open our hearts.
Walking around under my own power, taking the world for granted, rushing through my days, thinking that my achievements are all my own, these are such easy mistakes to make. But they not only rob God of the credit for my blessings, but they rob me of the joy I could receive if would I acknowledge His hand in every aspect of my life.
President Uchtdorf gave a talk called, Have We Not Reason to Rejoice? Read it. It really helped me realize how many wonderful blessings I have.
The Lord has certainly caused me to rejoice.
