Following in His Footsteps

I have come to learn that there is happiness in following the Savior. Today in seminary, we read about Joseph when he was in charge of selling the stored grain to the people of the land during the famine, andhow his brothers who sold him into slavery came asking for help. There are examples of how we should be found in both Joseph and his brothers. His brothers gained a better understanding of the worth of life and family, and changed their hearts to have more compassion towards their fellow men. Joseph was completely willing to love his brothers, after all they had done to him. But because his brothers sent him away into a life of hardship, Joseph was able to later save his family from starving. The choices we make influence our lives in ways we cannot understand and may not even realize in this life, but the Lord does. If we will be put our trust on Heavenly Father and do the best we can to become like Him and live with Him again, then he will take care of us and lift us up in our trials and hardships.
