Tonight I read an Ensign article from this month by Elder Paul V. Johnson called Make Yours a Great Life. Two things really stood out to me from it. The first is this quote: "Your future is not determined by the conditions around you. It is determined by your faith, your choices, and your efforts." I know this is true and am grateful to be living in this time. The second part that stood out to me is when he says that by living righteously we "will have the protection of a worthy life." I loved that phrase and find such comfort in knowing that the Lord's path of faith and obedience truly does offer protection. I am thankful for His protective power that is upon me and my family and I always want to continue to do what is necessary to always be worthy of that protection.
