A new kind of love

How happy i have been lately now that i'm being obedient to God.
It's funny sometimes how we think things will make us happier, but ultmately nothing can make us happier than following the teachings of our prophets and leaders, and being faithful to the Lord and His commandments. Not even love can make us happier than this.

I've learnt so much about love in the past 6 months.
Love. Love is so powerful and so wonderful--they weren't kidding when they said it makes you weak at the knees or makes you feel the happiest you've ever felt or makes you want to do the craziest things because you can't contain yourself when all your joy wants to burst out of you. it really is amazing and is something i would want everyone to experience because it's so wonderful.There's obviously a reason for this strong attraction of love between people. It's natural. God made it that way.

So i've leant that love is good, love is necessary, love is amazing. But what i've also learnt about love is that there is a time and a place for it. And to put it bluntly, now is not the time! I have experienced that (even though love is wonderful) it is a complete waste of time whilst you are still young and in your teenage years. There's a reason we're not supposed to date or fall in love at this age and there are way greater things out there prepared for us to do by a loving Heavenly Father, who sits up in Heaven everyday knowing what he can do to make us happy each day and season of our life. He has another plan forus young ones, a special plan. A plan that involves education, going to seminary, building friendships and serving others. Yes love is amazing and will definitely be necessary one day, but that is only meant to come later on in life.

And funny enough, i thought that i wouldn't be able to live without love, but that's completely untrue. I was wrong. I am actually living better without love. I know with all my heart that this is because i'm fulfilling the mission that the Lord has for me--which is the same mission for all teenagers. Because love isn't what our loving Heavenly Father wants us to experience right now. Of course he wants us to experience it! But NOT NOW.

Now that i've taken love (which used to be one of my main focuses) out of my life, i can see more clearly! it's so weird. But i like it :)
