Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Wickedness never was happiness, as it leads only to emptiness and sorrow, no matter how much we may try to justify it. True joy and fulfillment can only come through living in harmony with righteousness and truth.
Scripture
“Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.”—Alma 41:10
Quote
“There is a careful way and a casual way to do everything, including living the gospel. We can rationalize all we want, but the fact is, there is not a right way to do the wrong thing!”—Becky Craven
