I am forever thankful for my dad’s diligence in teaching me that all things work for our good.
“All things shall give thee experience and shall be for thy good.” D&C 122:7
As a young girl and a teen I didn’t truly understand how true this statement is. Through the years I have come to fully understand and experience how the Lord literally uses everything for our good. As I have endured various trials in my life, I have been amazed how I grow each time, and I am thankful for the experience …after it is done. 🙂 The same with self inflicted trials…once repented of, they become tools of empathy used to understand others struggling. The Lord uses even those lessons to bless our lives and the lives of others.
“On your journey back to Heavenly Father you will soon realize that this journey isn’t just about focusing on your own life. No, this path inevitably leads you to become a blessing in the lives of God’s other children–your brothers and sisters. And the interesting thing about the journey is that as you serve God, and as you care for and help your fellowmen, you will see great progress in your own life, in ways you could never imagine.”
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf October 2017
“Our opportunity as covenant-keeping daughters of God is not just to learn from our own challenges; it is to unite in empathy and compassion as we support other members of the family of God in their struggles, as we have covenanted to do.”
-Carole M. Stephens
You don’t … build out of pessimism or cynicism. You look with optimism, work with faith, and things happen.”
