In life we often come upon road blocks. They keep us away from something that we want to obtain. Rather it be a mountain we want to climb, or a street we want to enter. These signs can be frustrating and keep us from something amazing and beautiful.
When we put up road blocks in our life that keep important things from entering we can miss out on wonderful opportunities and blessings Heavenly Father has in store for us. When we are going through our day are we filling it with uplifting activities that draw us closer to God and our families, or are we using our time to fulfill selfish desires.
"Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent." Doctrine and Covenants 60:13
We have been blessed with many talents and abilities. When we begin to break commandments, and harden our hearts to the Lord; often times our time begins to be filled with unrighteous activities These activities are a road block and send us to a road of destruction.
When we fill our time with reading our scriptures, praying, spending time with our families, and work/education we are using the time our Heavenly Father gave us wisely. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has the potential to strengthen a family far more than any worldly thing. When we develop a stronger relationship with God and Jesus Christ and follow the commandments; we can lift the road blocks away, and be able to enter into the Kingdom of God.
I know that as I have made Heavenly Father a priority in my life, I have been able to see far more blessings than I could ever imagine. I truly know that true happiness comes from being obedient to our Heavenly Fathers will. He knows the bigger picture, and knows the path we need to be on to be able to return to live with him. We just have to trust him to guide us along the way.
