What Really Matters?

Never Let A Problem To Be Solved Become More Important Than A Person To Be Loved.

What matters most? It is easy to become so indulged in school and work that we forget what really matters most. Why do we work so hard? Why go to school?...Is it for the money? The ability to boast about our accomplishments? Or to be able get a good job to buy a big house and all the toys we can think of? Many of us will say its so we can take care of our family and to serve the Lord through our talents that we will acquire. However, is that really at the top of our priority list? It is easy to forget what really matters when we are struggling in school or having to work long hours to pay the bills, but why let the stress of it all cause us to lose site of what really matters. Things go wrong. Trials take a toll on us but we must remember why we are here. It is not to get the most degrees that we can get, although getting an education is essential for our progression in this life. It is not how much money we can make, although in this society money is essential to take care of our physical needs and is directly related to our ability to provide for our families. We must make time for others. There is always someone who needs us. Heavenly Father couldn't be here physically to help his children through life's challenges. So he answers prayers through us. We are his tools in mending broken hearts, lifting up spirits and leading a lost soul back to the light. If we lose ourselves in service, the stresses of the world will take a back seat to what really matters. Listen to the spirits promptings to be a friend and lend a hand. Even if its just saying hello, we can answer the prayers of those around us. The worth of souls is great in the sight of God. We matter to him. What matters to you?
