I love this church that I belong to and the comforting, eternal principles I learn from the scriptures and from living prophets. What would I do without them?! The following words of inspiration from Thomas S. Monson, a prophet of God and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came over Instagram today just when I needed it most. Amazing how that happens! A good reminder that God is mindful of me. I am so grateful to be able to listen to more words like these on Saturday and Sunday during the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
There are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us and to become something different from what we were--better than we were, more understanding than we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before. This should be our purpose--to persevere and endure, yes, but also to become more spiritually refined as we make our way through sunshine and sorrow. Were it not for challenges to overcome and problems to solve, we would remain much as we are, with little or no progress toward our goal of eternal life.
Enough said.
