Love:
How does love prepare us to meet God? Well the correct answer to that is; God is Love! Most people see God as a being who floats around and is powerful; nah, he's our Heavenly Father! He is the being who created our spirits and looks like you and me. He has created everything you see around you; for you! He has created a plan where we can live on an earth and grow to be like him, to develop his attributes. Love is an awesome attribute to learn and experience. We all have at least one person in this world to love. No I'm not talking about Justin Bieber, although his hair is nice... I'm talking about our family, a girlfriend or boyfriend. Someone who is special to us!

Influence:
People that we love are more likely going to influence us. I personally believe that Jesus Christ is the greatest influence in the world. He devoted his life to us by being an example. His influence of love, peace, support, and everything good will and is continuing to spread through the world. We should follow his love and influence!
Follow:
The ability to follow someone or something is ours. It goes along the lines of agency. Agency is the power for us to choose what action we want to take. Following a leader demonstrates that you are capable to obey with respect and humility. We must follow Christs example and show our love for him and others by loving them. Following the example of Christ, that is to love, respect, and help our fellow beings will bring us much joy. We can always enjoy life when we follow Christ. His message is one of hope, understanding, and peace.
This life is meant to be enjoyed!
Enjoy:
We often go threw life and look back to think that we should have not taken it for granted. Every second of the day should be enjoyed. Yes, there are times when we are full of anger and sorrow. This is a part of learning the opposite, which is joy! The moments we have in life with family and friends should be enjoyed, along with those moments in life serving the Lord and learning his ways. Sharing our love for others should be joyful. Influencing others for good, and helping them follow in Christ footsteps should and will be enjoyed. I can promise anyone who wants more joy in their life right now; to go help someone in their life. They will feel joy and will enjoy each moment.
L.I.F.E.
This life is a test and I will not claim it as not. We are to be pushed and twisted threw life to learn. Everything in this life is to help us grow. When Joseph Smith was having affliction, he prayed and heard these words...
I know this life is hard. If we just learn of why we are here and what we can become we can find an inner joy. I know that if we truly cry unto our Heavenly Father for support, then we will find peace and joy.
I know that Jesus is the Christ, the very son of God. I know he has lived a perfect mortal life to show us the example and I know he lives now. I know Heavenly Father love everyone of his children. He loves and wants the best for you! I can promise you as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ that if you pray this day, for endurance and support threw this life. You will begin to come closer to your Father in Heaven, and understand what he desires for you.
Love Life, Influence others for good, Follow the examples of greatness, and Enjoy the whole journey through L.I.F.E.!
