My mom sent me the following quotes. I wanted to share them with y'all. Thanks Mom!!!! I love you!!!
“You will have all kinds of trials to pass through. And it is quite as necessary for you to be tried as it was for Abraham and other men of God, and God will feel after you, and He will take hold of you and wrench your very heart strings, and if you cannot stand it you will not be fit for an inheritance in the Celestial Kingdom of God.” -- Joseph Smith as reported by John Taylor in Journal of Discourses Volume 24 Page 197.
“The Saints should always remember that God sees not as man sees; that he does not willingly afflict his children, and that if he requires them to endure present privation and trial, it is that they may escape greater tribulations which would otherwise overtake them. If he deprives them of any present blessing, it is that he may bestow upon them greater and more glorious ones by-and-by.” -- George Q. Cannon (1827-1901) “Beneficial Results of Continued Obedience in the Teachings of God’s Servants,” Millennial Star, Oct. 3, 1863, page 634.
“. . . understand the principle of compensation. The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.” -- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign Nov. 2008 pp. 26-28 “Come What May and Love It”
