"...the world is not bashful in offering numerous new answers to every problem we face. People run from one new idea to the next, hoping to find something that will answer the burning questions of their souls.
"It's not that these worldly options don't contain elements of truth-many of them do. Nevertheless, they all fall short of the lasting change we seek in our lives. After the excitement wears off, the hollowness remains as we look for the next new idea to unlock the secrets of happiness.
"In contrast, the gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems... It is not someone's theory of proposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend. and with that knowledge, He has given us the gospel - a divine gift, the ultimate formula for happiness and success.
We must become disciples of Jesus Christ. This takes patience and faith. "Discipleship is a journey. We need the refining lessons of the journey to craft our character and purify our hearts. By patiently walking in the path of discipleship, we demonstrate to ourselves the measure of our faith and our willingness to accept God's will rather than ours."
Our teacher Sister Chintaram challenges us to look at our lives and pick an area where we can better become a disciple of Christ. Only as we walk in the Savior's path will we find the true happiness and peace we are seeking.
