Today has been a struggle with my emotions as I battle with Satan. He bombards me with lies and manipulations all day every day. I am grateful for a loving God that has shown me, through many experiences over the last few months, the love that he has for me and all his children. I am just about to leave work and I had this thought:
The gospel takes us as people of the earth and refines us as people for eternities. All of the trials and tribulations we have are for that purpose. It may be beyond our understanding right now but we WILL have that understanding someday. We can find peace in knowing that we are being watched over and cared for by a patient, loving Heavenly Father who will not forsake us. Yes, at times, he allows us to suffer and be challenged beyond what we feel like we are capable of enduring. But it forces us to rely on our Savior. That knowledge brings peace and understanding.
Matt,
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I have appreciated your posts. I like how- even though you are going through this intense trial- the Lord is still giving you hope and ideas from him and from the scriptures. I am praying for you! Keep it up! I am also praying for Kylee and the Kids-- that the Lord will help and heal and support them as well!
