Mortality, by divine design, is not easy and at times can be overwhelming. However, “[we] are, that [we] might have joy”!5 Focusing on the Savior and our covenants brings lasting joy! The purpose of mortality is to prove our willingness. “The great task of life [and the cost of discipleship] is to learn the will of the Lord and then to do it.”6 True discipleship leads to a fulness of joy. Are we willing to pay the price of discipleship? – Kevin W. Pearson, “Are You Still Willing?” Ensign (CR) November 2022
