  • Love it

  • thx for sharing

  • I got up at 4 am to finish a 25 page paper for school. My wife is asleep in the other room. Watching this what I needed to gain some focus and perspective. Yes happiness is a choice, a choice to follow Christ. I am a Mormon, and keeping my focus on Christ and following Him His way through His gospel makes all the difference to me.

  • If you care about happiness and the chance of peace for all people then your society should start considering that all people are worthy of your respect and the dignity of full, unequivocal equity. Meaning gay marriage. Meaning embracing drug addicts and people who hate you. Meaning minorities. Meaning both failures and successes. Why would a religious following supposedly committed to peace fund with millions of dollar campaigns in California to stop equal rights for gays and immigrants?

  • @mratomix The church's stance on politics as I understand it is this: We do not discriminate against ANYONE. The difficulty is that we will not stand by and condone practices that directly conflict with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Gay marriage is one of those things. We SHOULDN'T (we like all religions have those that unfortunately do not act as they should) discriminate against anyone for any reason. Rather try to show them the right way and hope they choose it themselves.

  • Happiness is a gift, not a decision

  • @calihitter55 but it is a decision. We can choose to be happy, or choose not to be.

  • Let's face it, we're human and we fear death and its inevitability. Thus, we create religious structure to cradle these fear and doubts . This establishment also gives humans purpose and answers in their life instead of always asking the perpetuating question of "Why are we here?". We create ideals for this religion to give the followers something to do. Some take these too far and ruin the purpose. I'm not entirely against Mormons, my point is that we can't ever fully understand God if at all

  • Thank you for your testimonies. This is a powerful message that provides a fresh view of the world! Thank you!

  • If we lived with God, whats with all the pain, natural disasters killing all your loved ones. LEaving you the last one alive in your family. IF you were that kid, youd say otherwise. In your rich, lives full of love, theres another side full of pain. Realizing God wont even help us in a time of need. God creates killers that could kill anything. Think. Personally im a secular humanist, dont even try converting anyone else into a religion there not. I was sent this, trying to find out what i am.

  • thanks for posting this video.

  • God does everything He can to help us to be happy

  • People should give themselves more credit. These people's lives changed because THEY made changes... not because an invisible spirit changed their life.

  • @AGolstonT The invisible spirit CAN CHANGE your lifeas well!!!

  • @AGolstonT I don't think you will ever understand why 'mormons' believe that the spirit changed their life (in a sense), until you have felt of that spirit.

  • We are saved by grace, but if God asked you to do something, would ye do it?... great video btw

  • How touching...real.

  • SO GRATEFUL FOR THE GOSPEL. the one thing in my life that is constant. and always will be.

    ps the model looks like ellie goulding i think:)

  • It's true, having God in your life makes you much happier :)

  • I'm happy for these peopleeeeeeee. 

  • @MrJkingstone - I generally don't read too many of these comments but when I do, it's usually just the top ones on my screen, of which yours happens to be. Pitty your mama didn't teach you that if you can't say anything good about someone or something, don't say anything at all. Please don't tell me what I believe, just as I won't waste my time on telling you what you believe. Go mow your neighbor's lawn or help someone you know needs help down your street. It'll make u feel better.

  • My life changed for the better when I realized that the greatest thing in my life was me. I now live for myself and always will, I will never look back from my choice.

    Glad to see these folks have found their happiness.

  • thank you. we are happy.

  • Talk to the missionaries. The restored gospel of Jesus Christ brings true happiness and lasting peace in this life.

  • @jb929215 Yes, he does. I love these videos too. But no you have me curious. Who is Nyan Cat?

  • So true, Christ changes lives!

  • @MrJkingstone it is not a lack of faith in God believing that you can become like Him. It is a promise in the great intercessory prayer of Christ in John 17 that we can become one with God and with Christ and inherit His life.

    It is not a lack of faith in God that we don´t limit ourselves to the Bible. We have faith in God that He can continue revealing His will through apostles and prophets today.

    Thanks to Christ´s sacrifice for all of us we can inherit eternal life.

  • if you arnt crying, then idk whats wrong with you

  • Mormons you offer happiness in your religion. So do many other belief systems so whats next? Is it showing your lack of in God by believing you can become a God of your own accord but thier should be no other besides him. Is it your lack of faith in God where you don't believe he would provide The Holy Bible that any thing that should contradiction is not of God. Not saying happiness is bad but their is joy knowing that God cares enough were he as One True God would died for us.

  • @MrJkingstone There is no other God besides Heavenly Father. Is- a present tense word. For human kind He will always be God. He provides the gospel in The Holy Bible- but does it make sense that his other sheep would not leave a record of their own? The Book of Mormon is /another/ testament of Christ, one that bears testimony of the other. It stands with and alongside the Bible, not take away or argue with it. It is not a lack of faith in God- it is belief that God still speaks to us personally.

  • @MrJkingstone The Bible states the faithful can become heirs of God and Joint heirs of Christ. This is how we can become like him. But the only is through Christ, we can do nothing of ourselves. Just because we keep his commandments through baptism and other things you like to call "works" doesn't mean we don't believe in grace also. We do the works God asks us to do, that's how we remain faithful and look forward to being with God through the eternities.

  • { Happy Tears!!} This is beautiful.

  • Thank you... This is very much uplifting to the souls... :)

  • I was raised in the church. All of my older siblings fell away, as my father was not a member and it was easier to walk away. I too fell away. I always knew of its truth. My life was good, I had all the "right" friends. But it was not until I truly accepted the truth, truly took the challenge to CHANGE, that I realized what I had been missing. The happiness that I had forgotten about. This church.. it's true. All of it. I have prayed. I have taken the step to read and find out for MYSELF.

  • @jb929215 I hope you'll move on that prompting. The people who make these videos do such a great job of catching the essence of the spirit of comfort that comes from having the gospel in your life. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true. I absolutely know that with every grain of my heart. If you are thinking of taking up religion, as you say, search out the missionaries. It will change your life in ways you don't even realize yet.

  • @jb929215 Remember God loves YOU. No matter what- and that is all you need to know. If he wanted you to come unto him, then the strange ways of God are not so strange- we have simply been blind to what has been given freely unto us.

  • cool story bro

  • That was beautiful! I know that by giving ourselves to Christ, we will get so much more back!

  • Hope you find the Jesus of Scripture and can know the depth of His love for you. He can easily be found by reading John, Acts and Romans.

    Life is not about a denomination or religion. Life is about Jesus, the Author of life.

  • three beautiful stories. thank you. thank you LDS Church for being there for so many and helping people all over the world. thank you for staying there is the midst of persecution, humiliation and accusations that are false. thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • i just hope there is mandarin version of this.....

  • I used to be a very unhappy person. Years of my life spent feeling terrible about myself. 3 years ago I made my own vow to never be unhappy again. Till this day I have thrived and have never been happier. I feel as though I am a happy go lucky person by my own decision. I am not a member of any church and don't plan to be, but no matter what your situation, my message to anyone is to just to find happiness within themself and spread that to everyone around them. =D

  • @WhyTreeFrog I like your attitude. You're right. We can choose to be happy. Thanks.

  • Hey guys look at this! All of these people are alone until they find "christ" Then instantly they have families? How does this happen? Someone explain.

  • Sorry don't agree.

  • Happiness is a choice. not a religion

  • @silversniper231 they are saying this can help.

  • @silversniper231 you can see it as you want . people are different and some people think through religion they are happy .. maybe others can be just happy by the way they live but life isnt only about being happy and that video shows this .. you can be at your lowest and religion can help you . it makes you happy to believe . to have faith in Jesus Christ.

  • @silversniper231 It's not that you cant be happy without it. But with religion you can also find it happiness.

  • @silversniper231 "...Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself [and herself] unspotted from the world." James 1:27 (New Testament, King James Version).

  • @silversniper231 that's true. but the right religion can help you make that choice easier

  • it doesnt matter which religen you are in catholic,momon,baptist, etc if you follow Jesus christ and accept him as your savior your deliver, left you up follow his plan then its pretty cool...i guess

  • Why do you think people can't be happy without Christ?

  • @Braxtonmccoy Christ said, "I am the way and the life, no man cometh uno the Father but by me"

    You and I don't make the rules no more than another person can make the rules in a families household with a righteous father. So is earth, we have been and have to answer to, a creator.

  • @Braxtonmccoy people can be happy, but the happiness that exceeds all understanding comes from Christ.

  • @Braxtonmccoy It wouldn't make sense to ask someone who doesn't believe, your question, as they're only going to say one thing. You'd have to ask someone who feels they can't be happy without Him. They'll explain it. I'll admit, I was happy living they way I did, until I realised how selfish I was being; when many people thought I was selfless. I knew how I felt inside. Jesus Christ was my perfect example of how to live a selfless life, and in trying to live such - I am FAR happier now

  • U guys need jesus. We need 2 help these people

  • being mormon is a contradiction! they say they believe in the bible but then the book of mormon goes away from it! jesus is the son of god! the only way to heaven is through his grace, not good works.

  • @Goldenowl19 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead.." Bible James 2:17 "for we know that it is by GRACE that we are saved, after all we can do" Book of Mormon 2nd Nephi 25:23 Mormons also believe Jesus is the Son of God, and also that the Bible is the word of God. What passage in the Book of Mormon were you referring to when you said that it goes away from Bible teachings? 

  • @benjaminfellmeth I am a christian and i believe that Jesus is the son of God also but why would Jesus matter to you if you believe that works get you to heaven? Jesus died and was raised so that our sins may be washed away and that is the ONLY reason we are going to heaven. Humans cannot possibly get to heaven by ourselves. We are not gods and we wont be gods because God is the ONE and ONLY God. That means that you will Not become a god in heaven.

  • @Goldenowl19True.We are only able to return to Heaven through the grace of Jesus Christ but grace comes in after we have done all we can, to be as righteous and loving and Christ like as we can. We have to have faith that He will save us but,That includes good works as well.In James 2:17 KJV we learn:"Even so faith,if it hath not works, is dead, being all alone." In the Book of Mormon has countless scriptures that say the same thing. Aren't we so lucky to have a loving Christ willing to save us!

  • @Goldenowl19 james 1:5, not any religion i ask although i personally believe that there can only be one right religion because when jesus was on the earth he has his church set up, he didnt have hundreds of churches but one. I do believe that belief in god is the foundation I believe that you need the correct teachings and doctrine when you go to church. a prophet, priesthood. While, the book of mormon is another testment of Jesus Christ.

  • @Goldenowl19 If you sat down and read the book of Mormon you would find how much it fits, and relates back and forth between the books so much. The way back to him is to do your best in life threw good works, and repent for sins, and know that he will forgive you through his grace. You cant believe everything you hear, you have to find out yourself, not threw the internet but by asking in faith and reading the bible and book of Mormon.

  • @Goldenowl19 I think we probably agree more than you realize. As I strive to keep His commandments I know him and his doctrine: "If any man will do his will he shall know the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself." As I come to know him more I become happier and get a taste of eternal life: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent."

  • It is not just the 10 Commandments, People....

  • Christianity! :D

  • Inspireing. . . 

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you and God bless to these 3 souls! These conversion stories are so needed in this world today. I hope that it is a testimony such as one of these that brings my inactive son active again one day. I am grateful for the hope and faith this gives me to pray for him and believe it is possible for him to spend eternity with me one day.

  • There is no sin too great for the healing power of the atonement!

  • Great Mormon message.

  • it isn't until you're at your lowest that you realize what really is important.

  • This is worth watching.  Wow this touched me deeply.

  • absolutely fantastic!

  • "It's called the plan of happiness for a reason." Love that quote! Thank you so much for sharing your conversion stories. The gospel really does change lives.

  • What a TERRIFIC video! I shared this on facebook.

  • This is now the 3ed time in 3 days My mind has been reminded of Alma 32

    this time Alma 32: 6 And now when Alma heard this, he turned him about, his face immediately towards him, and he beheld with great joy; for he beheld that their afflictions had truly humbled them, and that they were in a preparation to hear the word.

  • Happiness is the object and design of our existence.

  • very nice indeed :)

  • Weren't they the same people from last year Christmas message? Their life stories are powerful
