So even though some days are really hard, I'm glad those days are part of my experience on Earth.
Because, the good days are that much better.
It's a refining process.
Being put through the flame, molded, bent--to the shape Heavenly Father has in mind.
I love this message below:
And it's so very true.
It's a beautiful reminder of who is really in control. Placing my life in the hands of my savior, coming to know Him, and love Him has blessed my life so very much and has truly made me a better and happier person. I know that I can face the trials of this life because I know that I am not alone. He knows me. He knows what I am going through and He's there to help. Although I don't always understand why things have to be the way that they are. . . why people that I love have to leave this earth, leaving me behind or why horrible things happen to wonderful people--especially those close to my heart. . . I don't always understand but I do understand Heavenly Father's love for His children. I understand that because of the gospel being restored to this earth, families can be together forever and that I will see those dear friends of mine once again. I know that God is a just God but he is also an understanding and merciful God.
So I face my trials and do my best to help others with their trials and I do so with faith. Not blind faith. . . no. . . I do so with faith because I know. I know that my savior died for me and that He lives. I know and have witnessed the power of the atonement and how much it can change a person's life for the better.
I came to this earth to have a mortal experience that would challenge me to become better, to reach my full potential and I'm grateful for the opportunity to do so.
I'm grateful for all the wonderful things, sure, but trials and hardships are essential to becoming a person with character, strength, and wisdom.
Amen.
