You are so loved

We had a fantastic lesson by Yvonne Styles today. I'm not going to summarize the whole thing, but I'll give some basic things that I took away from the lesson.

1. You are not alone in your trials, God knows you and loves you and He is always there for you. If you ever feel yourself getting lost in despair and hopelessness, turn to Him in prayer and remember that He has total control over everything. If you are following the commandments He will not let you go through any trial alone, and everything that happens to you will happen for a reason.
2. Always try to align your will with God's.
3. True happiness comes not when your life is perfect, but when you trust in God and choose to be happy even though things are not going as you planned them.
4. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways aknowledge him and he shall direct thy path." Proverbs 3:5
5. We also listened to an excerpt from a talk by Jeffrey R. Holland called "An Ensign to the Nations." Youguys should definitely read it if you are looking for a little extra spiritual nourishment throughout the week. 

The lamb on Christ's shoulders represents each of us.

Did you have any thoughts or special insights about this week's lesson? I'd love to see what youguys thought in the comments below.
