The Greatest Love Story

The past few months I have gone through quite the power struggle with God. With so much rejection, confusion, and uncertainty that I have faced this past semester, my ability to put my trust in the Lord and in his timeline for me has been an uphill climb. I want so badly to do his will, but if I am being totally honest I would like to know what his will for me IS exactly even more than that. Promising to do his will without knowing exactly what that could entail is frightening! What if I must fail? What if it hurts me or someone that I love? What if?????? I have been struggling with this all semester and have been really very frustrated with the fact that Heavenly Father is not telling me all the details of my future and what I need to do to get there and what decisions I need to make. But what I have realized is (and to quote Jon Bellion in his song "Maybe IDK") that God would not be God if I knew all of his plans. When it really comes down to it Heavenly Father loves us SO much and all that he wants for us is to be happy. His WILL is our happiness. So even if it hurts, it brings pain or tears, or it shakes our faith a bit, it is for a reason! And that reason is to lead us to a happier, more wonderful, joy filled life filled with His love and the light of our Savior Jesus Christ.

1 Nephi 11:17 says, "And I said unto him:I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things."

I don't know what I am doing right now in my life. I don't know where I am headed or what my future holds for me. And perhaps I won't know these things for a really long time. But I do know that God loves me. God loves me so much. More than I will ever love anyone else or than anyone else will ever love me. More than I can even comprehend. And I know that because He loves me, He is going to do all that He can, being the supreme all-powerful omnipotent being that He is, to steer me in the direction of happiness. As long as I put my trust and my faith and my whole heart and soul into loving him back the best that I can.
