Amidst the hardships of this life joy is hard to find.  On a daily basis news channels show political unrest, natural disasters, war, and many other incidents that make viewers cringe.  We are implored by living day prophets to find joy, but how can we when sadness is surrounding us?

Three things can undoubtedly bring us joy:
Jesus Christ
Obedience to His commandments
Yielding ourselves to Him in all things.

Christ is what brings the world joy and light. Speaking in Doctrine and Covenants He says, "Wherefore, fear not even unto death; for in this world your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full" (D&C 101:36).

The world can give us temporary joy.  We can have good times with friends, feel at peace while reading a book, or enjoy a sunset, but the things the earth gives us do not last.  They are not eternal.  We can find eternal joy in Jesus Christ.  We must be obedient to His commandments and trust in Him, then if we yield ourselves, or give ourselves completely to Him, then will we find that eternal joy.
