I am reading God Wants A Powerful People by Sheri Dew. She is one of my favorite people of all time. She has a way of saying things that seems to go straight into my heart. Anyway I wanted to share a quote from President John Taylor that I found in this book:
"You may pour wealth, honor, influence, and all the luxuries of this world into the lap of man; and, destitute of the Spirit of God, he will not be happy, for that is the only source from which true happiness and comfort can come" (The Gospel Kingdom, 341).
I have experienced this personally. Not the wealth or luxuries part, the caring more about the world and what the world thinks of me part. Since I have made a concerted effort to think more about what God wants and have tried to do that, I have felt true happiness. I feel like I now experience the true happiness and comfort even through fiery trials and challenges.
